Edith Ogden Harrison

Edith Ogden Harrison (16 November 1862 – 22 May 1955) was a writer of children's books and fairy tales in the early decades of the 20th century.

He was known in his political career as "Junior" because his father, Carter Henry Harrison III, had preceded him in office and had been one of Chicago's most famous mayors.

In the first phase of her literary career, Edith O. Harrison concentrated on children's literature; later she wrote travel books and autobiographical works.

Her early book Prince Silverwings was adapted by family acquaintance L. Frank Baum for a dramatization that never made it to the stage.
