author
Best known as the co-author of a lively 1913 travel adventure, this writer helped bring a globe-spanning seafaring story to young readers. The surviving record is sparse, but the book’s sense of motion and curiosity still comes through clearly.

by George Pugh, Jennie Pugh
Jennie Pugh is credited alongside George Pugh as the co-author of At the Back of the World: Wanderings over Many Lands and Seas, originally published in London by Lynwood & Co., Ltd. in 1913. The book has been preserved in the public domain and is now available through Project Gutenberg, which is the clearest reliable source confirming her authorship.
From the title, publication details, and modern catalog listings, she appears to have been connected with a work of travel and maritime adventure written for younger readers. The book follows a seafaring life across many places and gives the impression of a spirited, outward-looking narrative shaped around travel, hardship, and discovery.
Very little biographical information about Jennie Pugh seems to survive in the readily available public record, so it is safest to remember her through this one enduring collaboration. Even with so few confirmed details, her name remains attached to a book that continues to find new readers more than a century after its first publication.
