Autorenporträt
Kate Douglas Wiggin, née Smith (born September 28, 1856, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.-died August 24, 1923, Harrow, England), was a prolific American author and educator, known primarily for her work in children's literature and for her efforts in the field of kindergarten education. Educated at a Female Seminary and then undergoing training for teaching kindergartens, she started her career as an educator, but gradually moved towards literary pursuits. Wiggin distinguished herself in the field of writing with her charming, often humorous depictions of country life and of child nature, which are marked by lively narrative and vivid characterizations. One notable work among her extensive bibliography is 'The Story of Waitstill Baxter' (1913), a novel which embodies her literary style-a blend of sentimentality, optimism, and a touch of social commentary. Although not as famous as her seminal work 'Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm' (1903), 'The Story of Waitstill Baxter' contributes substantially to her literary legacy, offering a glimpse into the cultural and social fabric of turn-of-the-century America. A woman ahead of her time, Wiggin was also a committed reformer, advocating for the importance of early childhood education and contributing significantly to its development in the United States. Her written works remain a testament to her storytelling prowess and her dedication to uplifting the human spirit through education and literature.
