In her brief life, Mary White’s spunk and spirit left their mark on her hometown. After she died in a riding accident, her father poured his heart and his renowned storytelling skills into a loving essay that left its mark on American literature.
William Allen White was a
small-town newspaper editor with a national reputation as an author. Because of
the compelling and often reprinted article he wrote about his daughter’s life
and untimely death, Mary White – like Peter Pan – has stayed forever young and
alive.
Using White’s essay as a
framework, author Beverley Buller tells about the life of Mary White in A Prairie Peter Pan: The Story of Mary White.
Buller is also author of a
book about White’s life, From Emporia:
The Story of William Allen White, published in 2007, and she will be autographing her books at the PIE Conference in October.
