L. K. (Leander K.) Lippincott
Best remembered today for co-authoring a single enduring children’s book, this 19th-century American writer is a faint but intriguing figure. The record that survives suggests a brief literary footprint and a life closely linked to fellow author Grace Greenwood.

About the author
Leander K. Lippincott, usually listed as L. K. (Leander K.) Lippincott, was a 19th-century American author. Project Gutenberg credits him with Old Wonder-Eyes, and Other Stories for Children, a book associated with both L. K. Lippincott and Grace Greenwood.
Reliable biographical details about him are limited, but available records indicate he was born in 1831 and died in 1896. He is also connected to Sara Jane Lippincott, the writer better known as Grace Greenwood, whom contemporary and historical sources identify as his wife.
Because so little verified information is readily available, he remains a somewhat obscure literary figure. What can be said with confidence is that his name survives mainly through that children’s book and through his connection to Grace Greenwood’s wider literary career.
