About the author
Born on Wolfe Island, Ontario, in 1875, Maude Radford Warren was a Canadian author who wrote children's literature, short fiction, and nonfiction. She was also an educator and journalist, and her career ranged from writing school texts to publishing retellings of classic legends and adventure tales.
She is especially associated with books for younger readers, including versions of stories such as Robin Hood and His Merry Men. During the First World War, she also worked as a war correspondent, and that experience shaped some of her later writing, giving it a firsthand immediacy that sets her apart from many children's authors of her era.
Warren died in 1934 in Ithaca, New York. Today she is remembered as a versatile writer whose books connected education, imagination, and history in a way that still feels lively and accessible.
