"He surveyed himself with satisfaction." Illustration for An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott, published in 1902 by Little, Brown, & Company Smith, Jessie Willcox: Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1863 to an affluent family, Jessie Willcox Smith attended private schools in that city, as well as in Cincinnati, Ohio. At age 20, she went to work as a kindergarten teacher but soon learned that she could not handle the stress of dealing with small children.

Soon after Henry was born, his strong-willed mother insisted that they return to London 'and civilisation'. He had one sister, Phyllis, three years younger.
