Anna Matlack Richards (1835–1900) was a poet, playwright, and author, a Pennsylvania Quaker whose reputation as a poet had been established by the time she was 20. She married William Trost Richards, and both he and their daughter, Anna Richards Brewster, were renowned American artists. A new Alice was “an expanded version of the stories she had invented for her young children, to whom the novel is dedicated, about their favorite storybook world.” A second edition was published in 1896.
