About the author
Born in 1857 and died in 1927, N. Hudson Moore wrote under a pen name associated with Hannah Woodbridge Hudson Moore, sometimes called Nannie. Sources tied to library catalogs and book-history references connect her with a substantial body of work published in the early 1900s.
She is especially remembered for accessible books on antiques and household design, including works on old furniture, china, clocks, Wedgwood, lace, pewter, brass, copper, and Sheffield plate. These books blended practical enthusiasm with historical background, making decorative arts feel inviting rather than intimidating.
Moore also wrote for younger audiences, including books such as Deeds of Daring Done by Girls and Children of Other Days. Taken together, her writing suggests an author interested both in the stories objects carry and in the way everyday culture connects people to the past.
