About the author

James Whitcomb Riley

1849–1916

Best known as the "Hoosier Poet," this Indiana writer won a huge popular audience with warm, musical verse in regional dialect and with beloved poems for children like "Little Orphant Annie" and "The Raggedy Man." His work mixes humor, homespun storytelling, and nostalgia in a way that still feels lively when read aloud.
