About this title

About the Author:

Ada Hume Williams Coe (1887–1972) was a high school Latin teacher in Washington, D.C. Ada's energy and drive were remarkable—she never slowed down, dividing her time among school, church, reading to homebound and sickly neighbors, going to movies, and being courted by a young soldier. He survived the war and they married and had a daughter. Ada continued teaching at least into the 1940s, and became quite a classical scholar and drama critic/coach with a lifelong passion for Shakespeare. She was a cultured, erudite, very proper lady who transcended her time.
