About the author

Kathleen Hay was a writer of children's fiction whose books circulated in the early 20th century. Confirmed titles associated with her include The Quest of Happy Hearts, Consider the Lilies, The Light in the Old Garden, and Golden Links.

The Quest of Happy Hearts remains the easiest of her works to verify today because it is available through Project Gutenberg, where it is described as an early 20th-century children's novel. Other surviving listings for her books suggest a body of fiction aimed at younger readers, often with a wholesome, family-oriented tone.

Reliable biographical details about her life are limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is best to remember her primarily through the stories she left behind rather than through a well-documented public biography.
