Anne Warner (1869-1913) was the author of Susan Clegg and her Friend Mrs. Lathrop (1904), Susan Clegg and her Neighbors' Affairs (1906), Seeing France with Uncle John (1906), Susan Clegg and a Man in the House (1907) The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary (1910) and Susan Clegg and her Love Affairs (1916). "Susan Clegg had dwelt alone ever since her father's death. She had not been unhappy in dwelling alone, although she had been a good daughter as long as she had a parent to live with. When the parent departed, and indeed some few days before his going, there had arisen a kind of a question as to the possibility of a life-companion for the daughter who must inevitably be left orphaned and lonely before long."
