Amanda Minnie Douglas was an American writer who composed works primarily for younger audiences. Although her early efforts were highly "e;didactic"e; works in keeping with the Victorian mores of the time, she later began to write in a more modern mode. During this period, she updated a number of classic fairy tales and folk tales for early-twentieth-century audiences. Her charming take on The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe is sure to capture the imagination of younger readers.
