Gertrude Chandler Warner was born in Putnam, Connecticut, in 1890 and lived there until she died in 1979. As a young girl, Warner lived near some railroad tracks, where she spent many hours thinking about what it would be like to set up house in a boxcar or caboose. Warner became a teacher during World War I and, inspired by her childhood fantasy, wrote The Boxcar Children in 1942. A total of 19 books followed in the Boxcar Children series. All revolve around a mystery and have the overarching themes of independence and resourcefulness. Her books have remained popular favorites with children for the last fifty years.
