About the author
Published in the 19th century, May Wentworth appears to have been a pen name used by an American author also identified in library and audiobook records as Mary Wentworth Newman and Mary Richardson Newman Dolliver. Reliable catalog and reading-library sources connect those names to works of fiction, fairy tales, and poetry.
She is especially associated with Poetry of the Pacific, an early anthology of verse from the American West, and with story collections such as The Golden Dawn and Other Stories. Project Gutenberg and LibriVox both preserve works under the name May Wentworth, which is one reason modern readers can still encounter her writing.
Detailed biographical information about her life is hard to confirm from the sources I found, so it is safest to remember her as a versatile 19th-century author whose surviving books reflect a mix of literary ambition, regional interest, and popular storytelling.
