Susan Bogert Warner (1819-85) was an American evangelical writer of religious fiction, children's fiction, and theological works who used the pen-name Elizabeth Wetherell. She is best remembered for her novel The Wide, Wide World (1850), often acclaimed as America's first bestseller, and together with her younger sister Anna, who sometimes used the pseudonym Amy Lothrop, wrote a series of semi-religious novels which had extraordinary sales. Both sisters became devout Christians in the late 1830s and after their conversion became confirmed members of the Mercer Street Presbyterian Church, although in later life Susan was drawn into Methodist circles. In addition to their fiction writing, the sisters wrote children's Christian songs and held Bible studies for the West Point cadets. Set just before the outbreak of the Civil War, Daisy is the first part of a trilogy which also includes Melbourne House and Daisy in the Field.
