Variant namesBiographical notes:
E. (Elizabeth) MacKinstry was born in 1879 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. In 1913 she published a book of poetry, Helen's Mirror and Other Verses, under the pseudonym Elizabeth Westermain, but she did not begin illustrating children's books until 1924 with What Shall We Play? written by Edna Geister. This was followed in 1925 by the poetry collection Puck in Pasture (1925), which she both wrote and illustrated. Many of Mackinstry's illustrations were done for anthologies of fairy tales, including The White Cat, and Other Old French Fairy Tales (1928) and Anderson's Fairy Tales (1933). She died on May 13, 1956 in Lennox, Massachusetts.
