Why She Was His Favorite Author.
Not long ago a friend asked Frank Doubleday, the head of the publishing firm of Doubleday, Page & Co., who was his favorite author.
“Neltje Blanchan,” promptly replied the publisher. And he referred to the author of “Nature’s Garden,” “Bird Neighbors” and “The American Flower Garden.”
The friend was surprised until later, when he found out that “Neltje Blanchan” is in private life Mr. Doubleday’s wife. “Neltje” is her first name and “Blanchan” is her grandmother’s name. Before marriage Mrs. Doubleday was Neltje de Graff of Dutch descent.
