About the author

Grace Nies Fletcher made her debut as an author at the age of seven, when some of her verses were published in the Springfield Republican. Her stories and articles appeared regularly in such national magazines as The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, McCall's, and the Woman's Home Companion. Her first book, written in collaboration with Bishop Fred Fisher, was a study of Gandhi.

Mrs. Fletcher was born in Townsend, Massachusetts and grew up in the parsonage of the New England Conference of the Methodist Church. After graduation from Boston University in 1917, she continued her studies at Ohio Wesleyan and Columbia Universities.

Loved this book. I was 11 years old at the time and it was an eye opener. It took me to the rainforest for several hours!

Most of these were pretty good, but Women and Thomas Harrow was simply horrid and dull.
