Mary Graham Bonner

Mary Graham Bonner was an American children's writer, born in Cooperstown, New York, on September 5, 1890, and later known for a remarkably varied career in books and journalism. Sources describe her as a dual citizen of the United States and Canada who studied in Halifax and wrote for young readers in several genres.

She published children's fiction, including mysteries and adventure stories, and sometimes used the name M.G. Bonner when writing for boys. She also wrote daily bedtime stories that were syndicated by the Associated Press, which helped bring her work to a broad family readership.

Bonner's writing was not limited to fiction. She also wrote historical and cultural works, and she received the Constance Lindsay Skinner Award in 1942 for Canada and Her Story. She died on February 12, 1974.
