Florence Cronise and Henry Ward

Florence M. Cronise taught at the mission school of Rotifunk, in the Sierra Leone protectorate, a mission that came under the women's bureau of the Church of the United Brethren, an American Protestant church. There she wrote down the stories told to her by the children, most of them from the interior of the country, and by the mission's employees, at first to get to know better those she was teaching. Henry W. Ward chose the tales that were published and gave them their frame. Little else is known of their lives.
