Nan Hayden Agle (1905-2006)

American author of children's novels. Born in Baltimore. She worked as an art teacher and at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Probably best known for the Three Boys series, a children's series about the adventures of three triplets which she co-authored with Ellen Wilson. She also wrote many other children's stories including a number of animal themed novels. One of these features a horse and another a donkey.

Unfortunately I have no pictures of the author's books, so would appreciate it if anyone could send me some.
