Poetry Sidney, Margaret: Ballad of the Lost Hare V1. 8 Aug 2015

[PandathePanda]

Margaret Sidney was the pseudonym of American author Harriett Mulford Stone Lothrop (June 22, 1844 – August 2, 1924).

She published nothing until 1878 when, at the age of 34, she began sending short stories to Wide Awake, a children's magazine in Boston. Two of her stories, “Polly Pepper's Chicken Pie” and “Phronsie Pepper's New Shoes,” proved to be very popular with readers. Daniel Lothrop, the editor of the magazine, requested that Stone write more.

The success of Harriett's short stories prompted her to write the now-famous “Five Little Peppers” series. This series was first published in 1881, the year that Stone married Daniel Lothrop. Daniel had founded the D. Lothrop Company of Boston, who published Harriett's books under her pseudonym, Margaret Sidney.
