Best remembered for a lighthearted Christmas stage piece, this little-known writer is associated with early 20th-century children’s theater. The surviving record is sparse, which gives the work an extra air of rediscovery.

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus: Musical Christmas play in four scenes
by Maud Brunton
About the author
Maud Brunton is credited as the author of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus: Musical Christmas play in four scenes, a children’s holiday play originally published in the United States by Beckley-Cardy in 1922.
Reliable biographical information about Brunton herself is limited in the sources I could confirm. Based on the publication record that is easy to verify, she appears to have written for young performers and school or family entertainment, creating a festive piece built around songs, stage action, and familiar Christmas characters.
Because so little well-sourced personal detail is readily available, Brunton remains a fairly shadowy figure today. What has lasted is the charm of her Christmas play, which survives through modern reprints and Project Gutenberg, where new readers can still discover it.
