Autor

Harriette Newell Woods Baker, born on August 19, 1815, in Andover, Massachusetts, was an American author and editor best known for her books for children. She wrote under the pen names Mrs. Madeline Leslie and Aunt Hattie, gaining popularity for her works that often carried moral and educational themes for young readers. She began her writing career around the age of 30, initially focusing on novels before transitioning to religious literature about 15 years later. Harriette was married to A.R. Baker and spent much of her life in New York, where she passed away on April 26, 1893, at the age of 77. Throughout her career, she successfully balanced her writing with editing, contributing to both literature and religious publications. Harriette was the daughter of Leonard Woods, whose influence likely shaped her moral perspective and writing style. Her works continue to be appreciated for their ability to engage and educate young minds, reflecting her dedication to both literature and moral teachings.
