About the author
Marian Minnie George was an American author born in 1865. Surviving catalog and library records show her publishing educational books with A. Flanagan around the turn of the twentieth century and into the 1920s.
Her best-known works include A Little Journey to Puerto Rico (1900), A Little Journey to China (1901), and other geography and travel titles for intermediate and upper-grade students. She also wrote classroom aids such as The Intermediate Plan Book and The Primary Plan Book, suggesting that much of her writing was aimed at teachers and school use.
Because readily available biographical information about her is limited, many personal details remain unclear. What is clear is the shape of her work: practical, readable books designed to introduce young people to history, places, and everyday life beyond their own surroundings.
