About the author
Jenny H. Stickney, also listed as J. H. Stickney and Jenny H. Stickney Lansing, was an American author and editor born on September 9, 1840. Reliable catalog and library records connect her with school readers, children's literature, and edited retellings of well-known works.
She is especially associated with books for young readers, including versions of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, The Swiss Family Robinson, and Aesop's Fables. Records from LibriVox, Project Gutenberg, and library catalogs describe her as a children's book editor and translator, and her surviving publications show a strong interest in making literature and nature study accessible to children.
