About the author
Margaret O'Bannon Womack Vandercook was an American writer of children's literature, born in Louisville, Kentucky, on January 12, 1877, and she died on February 7, 1958. She was educated in Louisville, married John Filkin Vandercook in 1900, and later lived in places including New York and New Jersey; during her husband's lifetime, she also spent several years in Europe.
She became a professional writer after her husband's death in 1908. Vandercook went on to build a strong reputation in popular fiction for young readers, especially through series fiction centered on girls' adventures, friendship, and service. She wrote extensively for the Camp Fire Girls books and is also associated with the Ranch Girls, Red Cross Girls, and Girl Scouts series.
In addition to her novels, she published stories, articles, and poems in magazines such as Harper's Bazar, Delineator, and Pearson's Magazine. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources I checked, so a profile image is not included here.
