About the author
Marian Minnie George was an American author born in 1865. Surviving library and catalog records identify her as the writer of educational and juvenile books, often published by A. Flanagan Company.
Her books include A Little Journey to Puerto Rico (1900), Little Journeys to Hawaii and the Philippine Islands (1901), Character Building (1909), and planning books for teachers such as The Intermediate Plan Book and The Primary Plan Book. Several records also show later travel-themed titles connected with home and school reading, including books on Italy, Norway and Sweden, Scotland and Ireland, and England and Wales.
What stands out about her work is its practical, readable style. A Little Journey to Puerto Rico was presented for intermediate and upper-grade students, and library descriptions note its use of maps, illustrations, anecdotes, and accessible explanations to help young readers explore history, culture, and place.
