About the author

Born in 1867, Flora Klickmann was an English journalist, author, and editor. She became the second editor of Girl's Own Paper, a widely read magazine for young female readers, and later built her reputation as a popular writer in her own right.

She is especially remembered for her Flower-Patch series, books that mix personal recollection, gentle humor, and close attention to the natural world. Their appeal comes from the way they turn ordinary places and daily life into something vivid and companionable.

Klickmann died in 1958. Her work still offers a picture of an earlier England, but its friendliness, curiosity, and pleasure in small details continue to make her writing easy to enjoy.
