For books sake said: ↑

Hi all, I'm looking for some help in finding out about a book that an old Aunt has given me. The title is as per the thread, it is undated and I don't seem able to find it on any searches.

She gave me a copy of Old Father Christmas by Mrs Mack at the same time, so I'm assuming, maybe wrongly, that the Five Birds book is of a similar age. Sadly she is not able to tell me anything at all about the books.

I'd be grateful for any help. Many thanks.

Well, the English Probate records say that Maud Gertrude Satterthwaite was a spinster, so she wasn't his wife. Could be a sister or a daughter. He was born in 1892, so if Maud Gertrude was his daughter, she would not have been around to write poetry circa 1900.

Maybe the mother died earlier, and the daughter had the same name? Stretching here... [Never mind... I see that Bakers addressed this idea later in the thread.]
