Margaret Bruce Clarke

Margaret Bruce Clarke was an early 20th-century author remembered for writing fiction for young readers. Confirmed works include The Little Heiress, which appears in bookseller records as a Thomas Nelson & Sons title from the early 1900s, and Hunter's Marjory: A Story for Girls, published in 1907.

Hunter's Marjory has remained accessible through Project Gutenberg, where it is described as a children's novel centered on a lonely young girl, Marjory Davidson, and her strict home life. That surviving readership suggests Clarke's work still appeals to listeners and readers who enjoy classic children's stories with feeling, family tension, and resilience at the center.

Very little reliable biographical information about Clarke herself was easy to confirm from major reference sources, so her personal life remains obscure. What can be said with confidence is that her name continues to be attached to a small body of period fiction for girls that has outlasted its original era.
