Some readers may be surprised that this famous personality also wrote stories for children. His own mother, Jane Francisca Speranza Wilde, was a well known writer, too. Perhaps she told stories to her children when they were small, inspiring her son to entertain his children in turn. Wilde's stories for children are full of comedy, but they do not ignore the harsher side of life, and they have a moral message to impart.\u003cbr\u003e,\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicola Baxter has written or compiled over three hundred children's titles.
