Ruth Brown MacArthur

Born in Maine in 1881, Ruth Alberta Brown MacArthur was an American author remembered mainly for children's and juvenile fiction. Reliable catalog and bibliography sources connect her with books including Tabitha at Ivy Hall (1911), Tabitha’s Glory (1912), At the Little Brown House (1913), Heart of Gold, The Lilac Lady, and The Story of Harriet Beecher Stowe (1922).

Her books suggest a strong interest in family life, moral growth, and young people finding their place in the world. That makes her a good match for listeners who enjoy older, character-focused stories with a wholesome, sentimental tone.
