Lida B. Robertson

Very little biographical information about Lida B. Robertson could be confirmed from reliable online sources available during this search. Project Gutenberg and other catalog records do confirm that she wrote Jakie’s Christmas, a children’s Christmas story that has remained in circulation through public-domain editions.

Some book listings expand her name as Lida Bestor Robertson, but beyond that, dependable details about her life, dates, or broader career were not clearly verified. Because of that, the safest picture of her is as an author remembered mainly for this gentle holiday story and its focus on compassion, family, and community.
