Houseboat Mystery Bicycle Mystery Mystery in the Sand ABOUT THE CREATOR Gertrude Chandler Warner was born on April 16, 1890, in Putnam, Connecticut. In 1918, Warner began teaching at Israel Putnam School. As a teacher, she discovered that many readers who liked an exciting story could not find books that were both easy and fun to read.

She often dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or freight car—just as the Alden children do. When readers asked for more Alden adventures, Warner began additional stories.
