About the author
This author credit refers not to one person, but to the teachers of the School Street Universalist Sunday School in Boston, who were named collectively as the creators of Our Gift. Library and digitized-book records describe the book as a token of affection for their Sunday school pupils, and note that it contains prose and poetry prepared by the teachers.
The work comes out of a 19th-century Universalist religious and educational setting, where Sunday school books were often written to instruct as well as entertain. In Our Gift, that shared purpose shows through in its brief moral lessons, reflective pieces, and child-friendly tone.
Because the credited author is a group rather than a single identifiable individual, little personal biographical information is available beyond the collective role of these Boston teachers and their connection to the School Street Universalist Sunday School.
