About the author
Born in Brooklyn in 1890, Theodora McCormick Du Bois became a notably wide-ranging writer whose work crossed several genres. According to her Wikipedia entry, she wrote mystery novels as Theodora Du Bois and historical romances as Theodora McCormick, building a career that also included children's books, fantasy, and science fiction.
Her books show an author comfortable shifting tone and setting, from crime fiction to imaginative tales. One of her early novels was The Devil's Spoon (1930), and the record of her work suggests a long, steady publishing life rather than a single breakout title.
She lived from September 14, 1890, to February 1, 1986. For readers browsing older popular fiction, she stands out as a prolific storyteller whose range was unusually broad.
