Mary Graham Bonner (born September 5, 1890; died February 12, 1974) was a Canadian[[note]]She was actually born in New York, but her family moved to Halifax when she was young[[/note]] author most known for her childrens’ stories, although she did also produce some nonfiction books later in her career. While semi-famous back in the day for ''The Magic Map'' and the ThematicSeries it spawned, she has been mostly forgotten nowadays.

!! Tropes present in her works include:
* AnimateInanimateObject: A few of these show up in the ''Magic'' series:
** ''The Magic Music Shop'' has living musical instruments inhabiting the titular Shop, who are rather eager to educate Minna about the history of music when she stumbles in.
** Then in ''The Magic Clock'' there’s the titular Clock (yes, [[ADogNamedDog that’s its name]]), which has TimeTravel powers.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The ''Magic'' series is full of these, starting with geographical concepts like the Western Hemisphere and the Equator [[spoiler:and eventually Geography itself]] in ''The Magic Map''.
* AudienceSurrogate: The various protagonists in the ''Magic'' books-all of whom start out their stories as children bored and slightly frustrated with their studies- are supposed to be this to the children of the 1920s.
* AuthorAppeal:
** Bonner was quite fond of her home country of Canada, and wrote a few books about its history.
** She also enjoyed baseball (having picked up the game when she still lived in Cooperstown), and wrote numerous baseball-themed stories.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''Magic Journeys'' is the only book in the ''Magic'' series to be a direct sequel to ''The Magic Map'', instead of being only thematically related to it.

* LaterInstallmentWeirdness:
** The last two books in the ''Magic'' series both suffer from this. ''The Magic Clock'' is the only book in the series to not be even remotely educational, while ''The Animal Map Of The World'' is the only book in the series to not have the word “Magic” in the title.
