Alice Brown (1856-1948) was an American novelist, poet and playwright, most famous as a writer of local color stories. She also contributed a chapter to the collaborative novel, The Whole Family (1908). She was born in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire and graduated from Robinson Seminary in Exeter in 1876. She later worked as a schoolteacher, but moved to Boston to write full-time in 1884. She first worked at the Christian Register and then, starting in 1885, she wrote for the Youth’s Companion. She was a prolific author for many years, but her popularity waned after the turn of the century. Among her most famous works are: Meadow Grass: Tales of New England Life (1895), Tiverton Tales (1899) and Country Neighbors (1910).
