  1. Woodruff, Helen S. The Lady of the Lighthouse. New York. 1913. 1st. 90p. Nicely embossed stiff wraps. Helen Smith Woodruff (1888-1924) was an author of young adult and children’s books that were popular in the second decade of the twentieth century. Born and raised in Selma, Alabama, her ties to Alabama are evident in her characters, settings, and dialects. Woodruff’s biggest selling book was this novel The Lady of the Lighthouse (1913). Woodruff’s novels are characterized by their optimism. The Lady of the Lighthouse, her most popular book, is about brightening the world of a young blind boy. Woodruff donated the proceeds of all her books to charity. The Lady of the Lighthouse, for example, raised $300,000 for the New York Association for the Blind. At the age of only 36, she died in New York City on October 14, 1924, as the result of a fall from a second-story window in her New York home. In her short career she penned 11 novels. Included laid in is a newspaper article relating to her untimely death. Clean, tight, Light edge and corner wear. (VG+). $20.
