Mary F. Nixon-Roulet

Mary F. Nixon-Roulet, who died in 1930, was an American author remembered for books written for children and Christian audiences. She is also referred to in some sources as Mary F. Nixon de Roulet.

She wrote several entries in the popular Our Little Cousin series, including books set in Spain, Hungary, Brazil, Greece, and Alaska. She also adapted and retold traditional stories, including Japanese Folk Stories and Fairy Tales, helping bring international tales to young English-speaking readers in a simple, inviting style.

Her books reflect an early-20th-century interest in introducing children to other countries, customs, and moral lessons through storytelling. Many of her works remain accessible today through major public-domain collections, which has helped keep her writing in circulation for new generations of readers.
