May Baldwin

May Baldwin (8 May 1862 in Lucknow, India – 1950) was a British girls' school story book author.

An international traveller, Baldwin's work was far less nationalistic than that of her contemporaries.

Early life

Born in 1862, in India, where her father - the Rev. John Richard Baldwin - was a chaplain, May Baldwin was one of five children, and was sent to school in Germany. The family returned to England from 1869-1871 and later returned permanently in 1879, when Rev. Baldwin took a living at Dewsbury. May Baldwin trained to be a teacher at Bishop Otter College.
