About the authors

MF

Mary Forman Ledyard

b. 1867

Best known for the 1916 book Seven Maids of Far Cathay, she wrote about cultural encounter and education in China in a voice that still feels unusual today. Little is firmly documented about her life, which gives her work an added air of mystery.

AD

Abertine D. Mandall

Known today for a single unusual collaboration from 1916, this little-documented writer is remembered through a book that blends fiction, language, and cross-cultural curiosity. The surviving record is slim, which gives the work itself an added sense of mystery.
