About the author
Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland (1886–1950) was an English author closely connected with one of the best-known names in children's literature. She was the adopted daughter of Edith Nesbit, though biographical sources also identify Hubert Bland and Alice Hoatson as her biological parents.
She published Moo Cow Tales, a group of children's stories written when she was young, and later co-authored Cat's Tales with Edith Nesbit. In 1934, she published The Man in the Stone House, showing a move from childhood storytelling to a longer and more adult novel.
Although she is much less famous than E. Nesbit, her work offers an interesting glimpse into the family and literary circle around the Blands. For listeners who enjoy early children's fiction and lesser-known writers from that world, she is a rewarding discovery.
