About the author

Helen Bannerman

1862–1946

Best known for creating Little Black Sambo in 1899, this Scottish-born writer of children's books spent many years in India and drew on that experience in her stories. Her work became famous very quickly, and it has also remained part of wider conversations about race, publishing, and how older classics are read today.
