Mary Graham Bonner

Mary Graham Bonner was an American children's author born in 1890 and died in 1974. She wrote a large number of books for young readers, including story collections, fairy-tale retellings, and animal-centered adventures that aimed to entertain while keeping a warm, approachable tone.

Her writing is often remembered for its imagination and easy storytelling style. Across many titles, she showed a clear feel for what could hold a child's attention: playful situations, talking animals, everyday surprises, and a steady sense of kindness.

Reliable biographical detail available online is fairly limited, but the record of her published work shows a long and productive career in children's literature. She remains of interest to readers looking for classic early-20th-century stories written for younger audiences.
