Ill health prevented her from fulfilling her ambition to become a doctor; she turned to writing instead. Her first story was published when she was eighteen, and her literary production continued unabated until a crippling carriage accident in 1902 ended her creative career. She died on June 24, 1909, leaving behind a remarkable literary legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49061570838765,"sku":"9780451531445","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_46582799-7bac-4afa-9872-cc8eecefb295.jpg?v=1764096391","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-country-of-the-pointed-firs-and-other-stories-9780451531445","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
