About the author

Rosamund Edith Nesbit Bland (1886–1950) was a British author of children's fiction. Public-domain records for her work identify her as the author of Moo Cow Tales, first published in 1905, and Wikisource lists her as a British author whose married name was Rosamund Nesbit Sharp.

She is often noted as the daughter of Edith Nesbit, the celebrated writer of The Railway Children. That family connection helps place her in a literary world, but her own surviving work has a distinct charm of its own: short, lively stories centered on animals and country life, written in a simple style that suits reading aloud.

Only a limited amount of biographical information was easy to confirm from reliable online sources, so many personal details remain unclear here. What does come through clearly is her place among early children's writers whose stories were made to entertain young listeners with humor, tenderness, and a touch of whimsy.
