Frances Margaret Fox

Born in Framingham, Massachusetts, on June 23, 1870, Frances Margaret Fox became a prolific American writer for children. Reliable sources agree that she wrote more than fifty books, and she is especially remembered for her Little Bear stories.

She was educated at Kalamazoo Seminary in Michigan, and her writing career began in the early twentieth century. Library and reference sources note that her first children's book appeared in 1901, after she had begun shaping stories for children into publishable work.

Fox continued writing for decades, producing books and magazine pieces for young readers up to the era of World War II. She died on March 1, 1959. I found a solid biographical record, but I did not find a clearly suitable verified portrait image on the author pages I checked, so the profile image is left blank.
