About the author
Mary Elizabeth Jennings is an elusive figure in the historical record, and only a small amount of reliable information is easy to confirm online. What can be verified is that she is credited as the author of The Brave Little Maid of Goldau, a work that remains available through Project Gutenberg and is also listed by the Online Books Page.
A few booksellers also attribute other works to her, including A Bunch of Red Poppies and Frozen Mountains of the Sea. Because detailed biographical sources are scarce, it is safest to describe her as a little-known author whose known and attributed works point toward fiction for younger readers, with an interest in vivid places, danger, and courage.
No clearly verified portrait image for Mary Elizabeth Jennings was confirmed from reliable author pages during this search, so a profile image is not included here.
