Georgia Eldridge Hanley

Georgia Eldridge Hanley is a very obscure author, and the clearest detail I could confirm is that she is credited with The One-Eyed Fairies, a children’s book published in 1924.

That book remains her best-known work and appears to be the reason her name is still remembered in public-domain libraries and audiobook catalogs. Because so little reliable biographical information is readily available, it seems she left more of a literary footprint through this one whimsical tale than through a widely documented public life.

If you enjoy forgotten children’s books from the early twentieth century, her work has the appeal of a small rediscovered gem: light, imaginative, and preserved thanks to digital archives and volunteer readers.
