Charles Edward Carryl (1841-1920) worked as a director of a number
of railway companies until he took a position in the New York Stock
Exchange, which he held from 1874 to 1908. He married Mary Wetmore

later became a poet and humorist), and Constance Carryl (to whom
"The Admiral's Caravan" was dedicated). Previously, in 1891, Carryl
published another children's book, "Davy and the Goblin." "The
Admiral's Caravan" appeared first in serialized form in the
children's periodical "St Nicholas" beginning in 1891; it was
published in book form first in 1892 and remained in print for many
years. "The Admiral's Caravan" is one of the last important works
of nineteenth-century American children's fantasy published before
"The Wizard of Oz" appeared in 1900. The story takes place -- as
such stories often do -- on Christmas Eve when young Dorothy
embarks on an adventure with the Admiral, the Highlander, and Sir
Walter Rosettes, three wooden statues who come alive on that magic
evening...
