BackgroundHarper's Magazine originally published the story in two installments in August and September 1906.[2] Clemens wrote the story after receiving a request from actress Minnie Maddern Fiske to assist in her drive against bullfighting.[2] Harper's published the story as a 153-page book in October 1907.[2]Clemen's daughter Susy Clemens, who died in 1896 at age 24 of spinal meningitis, is understood to be inspiration for lead character Cathy Alison.[2][3] When Clemens provided the story to Harper's, he included a photograph of Susy for the illustrator to use for Cathy.[2] See also
