About the author

Helen Jeanne Lamb Hoke (20 July 1903 - 26 March 1990) was an American author of children's books.

She wrote nearly 100 children's books and set up and ran children's book divisions in five publishing companies. Helen Hoke was well known for her anthologies on children’s humour, but she was also fascinated by the esoteric, the supernatural, and the weird.

In 1945, Hoke married Franklin M. Watts, who owned Franklin M. Watts, Inc., publishers, and became the vice-president and director of international projects.

Franklin Hoke is her grandson.
