About the author

Mildred Duff (1860–1932) wrote religious and biographical books associated with the Salvation Army. Confirmed surviving works include Catherine Booth: A Sketch and, with Noel Hope, The Bible in Its Making: The Most Wonderful Book in the World.

Her writing seems to have been aimed at general readers rather than specialists, with a simple, direct style suited to readers interested in faith, church history, and inspiring lives. Library and public-domain records also connect her with Salvation Army publishing.

Some details of her life are harder to verify from the sources I found, so it is safest to remember her chiefly through the books she left behind and her place in early 20th-century religious publishing.
