Most Americans are familiar with such classic folk tunes as Ten Little Indians, Oh Where, Oh Where, Has My Little Dog Gone? and Listen to the Mockingbird. But the composer behind these childhood favorites has been all but forgotten. Septimus Winner: Two Lives in Musicchronicles the life and achievements of one man's extraordinarily unusual career in music. Though Septimus Winner was considered one of the forefathers of nineteenth-century American popular song, he published his most popular and enduring works under the female pseudonym of Alice Hawthorne.

The author sheds some much needed light on one of the most interesting anomalies in American musical history-Septimus Winner a.k.a. Alice Hawthorne.
