About the author
Alice Brown (1857–1948) was an American novelist, poet, and playwright, and one of the representative writers of New England local color literature. Born in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, she is known for works including Meadow Grass: Tales of New England Life, Tiverton Tales, Rose MacLeod, Old Crow, Country Neighbors, The Day of His Youth, and The Prisoner. Her writing is mostly set in rural New England and portrays the daily lives, social relations, and local scenery of ordinary residents, with delicate prose and a strong sense of place. Public information is limited, so beyond the biographical and bibliographic details given here, her specific experiences and literary standing cannot be described in detail; nine of her works are held in this collection, allowing readers to learn more about her writing.
