Jane L. (Jane Lincoln) Hoxie

Born in 1863, Jane L. Hoxie wrote books that reflect the kindergarten movement's interest in storytelling, handwork, and learning through play. Records for her published work identify her as Jane Lincoln Hoxie, and library catalogs connect her with books for teachers and children including A Book of Programs (1911), A Kindergarten Story Book (1912), and Suggestions for Handwork in School and Home.

Her best-known title today is A Kindergarten Story Book, a collection prepared for young children and preserved through Project Gutenberg and library archives. The surviving bibliography suggests a practical writer as well as a creative one: alongside story collections, she also produced guides for school activities and manual work, showing a strong interest in early-childhood education.

She also wrote Solomon Hoxie; A Biography by His Daughter (1922), which points to a more personal side of her work. Jane Lincoln Hoxie died in 1930, and while biographical details about her life are limited online, her books still offer a clear picture of an author devoted to children's reading and the daily life of the classroom.
