About the Author Clara Dillingham Pierson authored a number of children's books in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Pierson, who was related to Abraham Lincoln, earned enough to buy a wonderful home named "Pencroft" with money earned solely from her "pen." Considered to one of the leading naturalists of her day, Mrs. Pierson was said to love animals so much that she would tiptoe into the kitchen late at night to feed mice that came into her house and would even coax them with bits of cheese.
