About this title

About the Author

Bertha Runkle (1879-1958) was an American novelist and playwright born in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. From a literary family, she wrote five novels. Her first and best known, The Helmet of Navarre, was made into a Broadway play. From an early age, she kept a notebook in which she wrote stories. When she tired of one, she would leave it unfinished and begin another, thus becoming accustomed to what in the professional world is the life of a writer. In 1893 her mother purchased a small piece of land at Onteora, Tannersville, New York and upon it built a house where she and her daughter lived every summer. Here she taught herself how to write a successful novel.
