The Myths Of Greece & Rome - Their Stories, Signification And Origin
By H.A. Guerber
Published by George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd: London, Sydney etc 1926

"Hélène Adeline Guerber (1859 - 1929), also known as H.A. Guerber, was an American writer of books, most of which were lively retellings of myths, legends, folklore, plays, epic poetry, operas and history. She was also a teacher. Although several books by Guerber are still in print, details about her life are scant. There are entries for her in three or four biographical sources from the early 1900's, but apart from listing the books she wrote, these sources provide almost no facts about her life. These book sources are supplemented by two short death notices, six census records (five federal and the 1892 New York state). Even the scant information is sometimes conflicting. Although Hélène Guerber published over two dozen books in her lifetime, as a person she is almost forgotten."
