Meet the Author

Susan Bogert Warner (July 11, 1819 – March 17, 1885), was an American evangelical writer of religious fiction, children's fiction, and theological works. she wrote, under the name of "Elizabeth Wetherell", thirty novels, many of which went into multiple editions. However, her first novel, The Wide, Wide World (1850), was the most popular. It was translated into several other languages, including French, German, and Dutch. Other than Uncle Tom's Cabin, it was perhaps the most widely circulated story of American authorship. Other works include Queechy (1852), The Law and the Testimony, (1853), The Hills of the Shatemuc, (1856), The Old Helmet (1863), and Melbourne House (1864).

    Missing pages

    I was enjoying this old-fashioned story alot even though the typos in it are down-right annoying, when much to my surprise, it was suddenly over without warning. The end of the story was just not there! So, I am left wondering what happened in the end. I guess I will have to buy a copy if one is available. Hazards of downloading free books I guess. Disappointing.

    A Little Known Gem

    This well-written book should be required reading for all high school level American Literature courses, especially in Christian schools and homeschooling families. Susan Warner's style is engaging. Ellen experiences the same kinds of events and emotions that we do today, and Miss Warner gently walks us through appropriate biblical responses to a variety of losses and trials.
