author
Best known for the 1903 play Princess Kiku, this elusive writer left behind a small but memorable work steeped in stagecraft, romance, and a fascination with Japan.

by M. F. Hutchinson
Little biographical information about M. F. Hutchinson is easy to confirm, which suggests the author is now quite obscure. What can be verified is that Hutchinson wrote Princess Kiku: A Japanese Romance. A Play for Girls, published in 1903 and preserved today in major public-domain archives.
The play was written for performance and centers on a Japanese princess, blending romance, courtly drama, and a style shaped for young performers. That gives Hutchinson a small but interesting place in early 20th-century popular theater, especially in works created for girls' dramatic reading and amateur performance.
Because reliable personal details such as full name, dates, and life history were not readily available from the sources found, it is best to remember M. F. Hutchinson through the surviving work itself: a light theatrical piece that has outlasted its moment and remains accessible to modern readers.
