About the author
Born in Bangor, Maine, in 1869, Mabel Fuller Blodgett wrote novels and children’s books during a long career that stretched from the 1890s into the early 20th century. She is especially remembered for works such as At the Queen's Mercy and for stories written for younger readers.
Her writing ranged from historical and society fiction to fairy tales and fantasy for children, showing a broad interest in storytelling rather than a single narrow genre. That variety helps explain why her name appears in both general literary references and genre bibliographies.
Blodgett died in 1959. While she is not as widely known today as some of her contemporaries, her work offers a glimpse of an era when children’s literature, adventure, and imaginative fiction often overlapped.
