HELEN SHERMAN GRIFFITH
Helen Sherman Griffith was born in Des Moines, Iowa, the youngest daughter of Major Hoyt Sherman, and a niece of General Sherman. She now lives in Chestnut Hill, a suburb of Philadelphia. Her first story, at the age of ten (written with a pencil stub while reclining prone on the grass with her legs waving skyward, like her ambition), was called “The Lost Evangeline” and concerned an abducted Princess. This fondness in her extreme youth for magnificent nomenclature has finally resulted in “Jane” and “Mary” being her favorite names, for heroines.
When she was twelve a local paper published a short story of hers and at the age of fourteen she won a prize of fifty dollars. She has written chiefly for girls, with occasional inroads upon the field of short stories of which a novelette “Incognito” that appeared in Lippincott’s might be termed a long one. Twenty-four plays constitute her effort in the dramatic line.
Her juvenile books number ten. One novel, “Rosemary for Remembrance”, may be added to the list which, to the author’s private chagrin, was recently classed along with the juvenile.
Among her favorite authors are Dickens, Trollope and Jane Austen. Her books for girls are:
