The Story of the Three Goblins
by Mabel G. Taggart
About the author
Mabel G. Taggart is known today chiefly for The Story of the Three Goblins, a children's fantasy first published in 1903. The book has remained available through library catalogs and public-domain archives, which is why her name still appears in collections of classic children's literature.
Very little biographical information about her is readily confirmed in reliable online sources, and major reference sites offer almost no personal details beyond her authorship. Because of that, she is best described as an early 20th-century children's writer whose reputation rests on this single surviving work.
That small body of evidence still suggests a storyteller with a taste for fairy-tale adventure, playful imagination, and the kind of gently strange world that appeals to young listeners and nostalgic adult readers alike.
