About the author
Very little biographical information seems to be publicly documented about Marie Helene Gulbransen. Reliable catalog-style sources do confirm her as the author of Bumps and His Buddies, and LibriVox describes her as a children's author active in the mid-1920s.
Her surviving reputation appears to rest mainly on that whimsical book, which has remained available through Project Gutenberg and other public-domain libraries. That continued circulation has helped introduce her work to new generations of readers and listeners, even though personal details about her life are hard to verify.
Because the public record is so thin, it is safest to remember her through the story itself: a playful children's fantasy with a light, adventurous spirit.
