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 brought up by Edith Nesbit, who adopted her. That background placed her inside a lively literary household and linked her to the wider Bland and Nesbit circle.

She is best remembered for Moo-Cow Tales and for Cat's Tales, a children's book she co-wrote with Edith Nesbit. She also wrote the 1934 novel The Man in the Stone House, showing that her writing reached beyond short animal stories into more adult and domestic themes.

Although she is far less famous than Edith Nesbit, her work still has charm for readers interested in early 20th-century children's writing and in the family world that surrounded the Nesbits. No suitable confirmed portrait image was available from the sources checked, so none is included here.
