About the author

Mary L. Bissell

Best known for the 1864 children's book Bertha Weisser's Wish: A Christmas Story, this elusive 19th-century writer created a gentle holiday tale about hardship, family, and hope. Very little biographical information seems to survive, which gives the work an added sense of mystery.
