Mary Downing Hahn (born December 9, 1937) is an American writer of young adult novels and a former school librarian. She is known for books such as Stepping On The Cracks and Wait Till Helen Comes. She published her first book in 1979 and has since written over 30 novels. The Doll in the Garden won the Georgia book award. She had been warned never to go there. But as ten-year-old Ashley followed the beautiful white cat through a small opening in the hedge, she stepped into an enchanted place. A Place where she might find the Answers.Who is the little girl with golden curls and huge sad eyes? Whose voice cries out in the dark of night? why does the white cat cast no shadow in the moonlight? Who is the owner oft he beautiful old doll found buried in the garden? And, if Ashley discovers the truth, Can She Ever Go Back.? Derived from a Kirkus review: A ghost cat leads ten-year-old Ashley through a hedgeâ"and back to the time when her fiercely disagreeable old landlady was an unhappy child who committed a wrong she still regrets. Ashley and her newly widowed mother have just moved into Miss Cooper's upstairs apartment so that Mom can complete her dissertation. Despite Miss Cooper's unreasonable restrictions on her every move, Ashley manages to make friends with Kristi, a younger child next door; together, they explore the forbidden, overgrown garden and discover an old doll that is buried there. To her own surprise, Ashley feels compelled to take the doll for herself, hiding it from Kristi. Then the cat takes her next door, where she meets Louisaâ"a child who died of consumption in 1912â"and learns that "Carrie" borrowed her beloved doll but never returned it. Carrie proves to be Miss Cooper, whoâ"with the girls' helpâ"is finally able to return the doll to her dear friend. Hahn uses her satisfyingly mysterious, spooky story to illuminate the interaction of people in the present: Ashley's abduction of the doll not only parallels the earlier one but is a manifestation of her unresolved grief; moreover, it is because Mom and Ashley have a healthy, loving relationship that each has tried to protect the other by keeping her grief to herself; the incident with the doll is the catalyst that causes them finally to confide in each other. Thoughtful, entertaining fare.

After graduating from Harvard in 1897, he traveled in Europe for three years, residing in Rome, Switzerland and London, studying at the University of Leipzig in 1899-1900. He returned to New York City to teach at a private school until 1904, when he joined a colony of artists and writers in Cornish, New Hampshire, and devoted himself entirely to dramatic work. He wrote the plays The Canterbury Pilgrims in 1903, Sappho and Phaon in 1907, Jeanne D'Arc in 1907, The Scarecrow in 1908, Anti-Matrimony in 1910, and the poetry collection The Far Familiar in 1937. In 1950, MacKaye published The Mystery of Hamlet King of Denmark, or What We Will, a series of four plays written as prequels to William Shakespeare's Hamlet. He was made a member of the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1914. In the 1920s, MacKaye was poet in residence at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He lectured on the theatre at Harvard, Yale and other universities in the United States. Percy MacKaye is considered to be the first poet of the Atomic Era because of his sonnet "The Atomic Law," which was published in the Christmas 1945 issue of The Churchman. According to the author p.655 , the four plays are to be understood as parts III-VI of a "hepatology" related to Hamlet themes. Plays are in blank verse with a few musical interpolations words and music by author. Four verse plays by the award-winning poet-dramatist, treating the events leading up to the beginning of Shakespeare's tragedy: the early years of the marriage of King Hamlet and Gertrude, the jealousy of Claudius and his love for Gertrude, Prince Hamlet's childhood (with Yorick brought back to play the fool), the murder of the King, and Claudius' succession. Mackaye's magnum opus was originally produced at the Pasadena playhouse in 1949. There was a signed limited edition produced before this First Trade Edition. Few copies of the Trade Edition appear to have been signed. Presumed First Trade Edition, First printing.
