About the author
Henry Lee Mitchell Pike, who published as H. Lee M. Pike, was an American author born in 1865. Reliable catalog and library records connect him with children's books that presented everyday life and customs in other parts of the world for young readers.
His confirmed books include Our Little Korean Cousin (published in 1905) and Our Little Panama Cousin (published in 1906). These works fit the popular educational style of their time, using short narrative sketches to introduce children to places, families, and traditions beyond the United States.
Some later library and audiobook sources list his life dates as 1865-1949, but the birth year is the clearest detail consistently confirmed across major records. I couldn't verify a trustworthy portrait image for him from the sources I found, so none is included here.
