About the author
Madeline Leslie was the pen name of Harriette Newell Woods Baker, an American author and editor born on August 19, 1815, in Andover, Massachusetts. She also wrote as Aunt Hattie and began her literary career at about age thirty, first publishing novels before turning much of her attention to religious and moral literature.
Baker published roughly 200 tales, many intended for children and families. Her best-known book, Tim, the Scissors Grinder, reportedly sold half a million copies and was translated into several languages. She died in Brooklyn, New York, on April 26, 1893.
