About the author

Born Geraldine May Butt in Winchester in 1854, she later became known as Geraldine Robertson-Glasgow. Reliable catalog and authority records identify her as a British novelist and children's writer, and Project Gutenberg lists surviving works under the name G. R. (Geraldine Robertson) Glasgow.

Among the books still remembered today are Troublesome Comforts and My friend Doggie; or, An only child, along with her contribution to The golden story book. The titles that remain easiest to find suggest a writer drawn to comforting, character-focused stories for younger readers.

She died in 1920. Although detailed biographical information is limited online, the record that does survive points to a late-Victorian and Edwardian author whose work continued to circulate long enough to be preserved in modern digital libraries.
