G. R. (Geraldine Robertson) Glasgow

Geraldine Robertson Glasgow was a British writer best known for children's fiction published around the turn of the 20th century. Project Gutenberg lists works including Troublesome Comforts, Middleton's Boy, and My Friend Doggie; or, An Only Child, showing a small but distinctive body of writing for younger readers.

She also appears as a poet. A 1905 volume titled Verses was published with Beatrice May Allhusen, and later sources connect her with First World War-era poetry as well. While detailed biographical information is limited, the surviving record suggests a versatile author who wrote both imaginative stories for children and reflective verse.

Her books still appeal to readers interested in classic children's literature: the kind of stories shaped by everyday mishaps, moral growth, and a strong sense of home. Even where the facts of her life remain faint, her writing preserves a clear literary personality—kindly, observant, and deeply interested in the emotional world of children.
