About the author

Very little can be confirmed about Molly E. Jamieson. AustLit notes that almost nothing is known about her and suggests she may possibly have been Mary E. Jamieson, born in 1869 in Deniliquin, New South Wales, though it also says she may instead have been an English writer.

What can be traced with more confidence is her published work. She is associated with Ruby: A Story of the Australian Bush, and AustLit also records references to other titles, including Jack at Sunset and Alec's Sacrifice, though those works have not been traced.

That uncertainty makes Jamieson an intriguing figure: an author who remains partly hidden, known mainly through a small trail of stories and the strong impression of Australian bush fiction left by the work that survives.
