Lillian Elizabeth Roy

Born in Morristown, New Jersey, on April 22, 1868, she was an American author whose books were aimed largely at younger readers. Records consistently place her life from 1868 to 1932, and bibliographic listings show a substantial body of work published under her name.

Her fiction often centered on energetic girls, outdoor life, travel, and teamwork. Surviving catalogs and library listings connect her with series such as the Girl Scouts books, the Woodcraft books, the Polly Brewster stories, and titles like Alice in Beeland, showing how widely she wrote across juvenile adventure and school-and-friendship fiction.

She also seems to have ventured beyond realistic children's fiction. Reference sources note that her 1929 novel The Prince of Atlantis is a fantasy work, a reminder that her writing could move from camp life and travel adventures into more imaginative territory. She died on June 12, 1932.
