Kate Douglas Wiggin as Her Sister Knew Her is an intimate and affectionate biographical portrait of one of America's most celebrated authors. Written by Nora Archibald Smith, Wiggin's sister and longtime collaborator, the work provides a unique perspective on the life, character, and creative spirit of the woman who penned the classic Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.

The narrative explores the sisters' shared childhood, their early educational endeavors, and their pioneering work in the kindergarten movement. Through personal anecdotes and heartfelt recollections, Smith captures the wit, warmth, and resilience that defined Wiggin's public and private persona. This volume offers readers a deeper understanding of the personal inspirations behind Wiggin's literary success and her lifelong commitment to the education and welfare of children.

As a historical record of a significant literary figure and the profound bond between two remarkable sisters, this work serves as an essential companion for fans of Wiggin's fiction and scholars of early twentieth-century American literature. It stands as a vivid testament to the life of a gifted writer whose stories continue to resonate with readers around the world.
