Bannerman, the daughter of a Scottish minister, married a surgeon in the British Army of India. She spent 30 years of her life in India and regularly wrote illustrated letters with fantasy storylines to amuse their children. In 1898 there “came into her head, evolved by the moving of a train,” the entertaining story of a little black boy, beautifully clothed, who outwits a succession of tigers, and not only saves his own life but gets a stack of tiger-striped pancakes. The book appeared in England in 1899 and was an immediate success.
