Lettie M. Cummings

Lettie M. Cummings appears to be the author of Professor Huskins, a novel first published in 1916. Library and public-domain records consistently connect her name with that book, and current catalog pages suggest it is the only work widely attributed to her.

Because biographical information about Cummings is very scarce in the sources available online, not much can be confirmed with confidence about her life beyond her authorship. What is clear is that Professor Huskins has remained accessible through archival and reprint editions, which has helped preserve her place as a little-known voice from the early 1900s.

For listeners who enjoy rediscovered fiction, Cummings is one of those authors known less through a detailed life story than through the survival of a single intriguing book.
