From a young age, she aspired to be a writer, crafting stories for her grandfather as Christmas presents.

In addition to her writing career, Warner worked as a teacher and volunteered for various non-profit organizations. She passed away in 1979 at the age of 89. Warner published her first novel, The House of Delight, in 1916. While she authored many books, only the first 19 in the Boxcar Children series were written by her. Her last novel was Benny Uncovers a Mystery. Below is a list of Gertrude Chandler Warner’s books in the order of their original publication.
