About the author

Ruth Royce is credited as the author of early 20th-century books including The Children of France and Little Daughters of France. Those works focus on the bravery and devotion of French children during World War I, presenting true-life-inspired stories for young readers in a clear, stirring style.

Reliable biographical information about the writer herself is limited in the sources I could confirm. A separate Wikipedia page exists for a silent-film actress named Ruth Royce, but I could not verify that she was the same person as the author, so I have not combined those details here.

Because so little confirmed personal background is readily available, her books remain the strongest introduction to her work. They show an author interested in courage, duty, and the lives of children shaped by wartime.
