Dorita Fairlie Bruce 

   Dorita Fairlie Bruce (1885-1970) was a British children's author, most notably of the Dimsie books published between 1921 and 1941. Her books were second in popularity only to Angela Brazil during the 1920s and '30s. She was a pioneer in creating series of books which followed a group of girls throughout their schooldays and even beyond. Her Dimsie, Nancy and Springdale series all follow this pattern, which was widely imitated.  

DFB's books were extremely popular in the Nordic countries, and a number of her Dimsie titles were translated into Swedish and Norwegian - this shows the cover of "Dimsie Goes To School":

We don't carry every single book by DFB, so we've included some links to some of her other titles which are being sold at Amazon. The titles we are selling are shown at the bottom of the page:
