edit data

Frances Trego Montgomery said that she got the ideas for her books by inviting groups of children to her house “between dinner and their bed time.” Together they would spin yarns and develop stories. Her book, The Wonderful Electric Elephant (1903), is considered the first science fiction novel for children.

Her most successful work was the Billy Whiskers series, for which she eventually published 25 works, some under the pseudonym F.G. Wheeler.
