L. (Lewis) Whitehead
Known in print as L. Whitehead or Lewis Whitehead, this author is associated with the children's title The New House That Jack Built, an American reworking of the familiar cumulative rhyme. Very little verified biographical information appears to survive, which gives the work a small historical mystery of its own.

About the author
Available catalog and book-listing sources identify this writer as L. Whitehead or Lewis Whitehead, and link the name to The New House That Jack Built, sometimes credited to L. Whitehead, Sr..
Beyond that, reliable biographical details are scarce. I couldn't confirm basic facts such as birth and death dates, nationality, or a fuller literary career from the sources I found, so it's best to treat the author as only lightly documented rather than fill in gaps with guesses.
That said, the surviving attribution suggests a writer connected with an older American children's adaptation of the classic "House That Jack Built" pattern, remembered today mainly through that title rather than through an extensively recorded public biography.
