About the author
Born on March 1, 1811, in Haynau, Silesia, Rosalie Koch was a German educator and writer for children and young people. German reference sources identify her as an educator and juvenile author, and note that she died in Jauer on August 26, 1880.
She is remembered for producing a great many works for a young readership, with several sources emphasizing that her books were written mainly for girls. Bibliographic records and literary databases connect her with titles such as Immortellen (1836), Winterfreuden (1851), Die verlorene Tochter (1852), and Aus der Jugendzeit (1857), showing a long and steady writing career.
Her work also traveled beyond Germany. English-language library records list Seedtime and Harvest: Tales in translation, suggesting that her stories reached readers in the United States as well.
