Polly Shulman is an American author of middle-grade fantasy fiction and the daughter of novelist Alix Kates Shulman. Before writing novels she worked as a critic and journalist, reviewing books for outlets including Salon.com. She is best known for the New York Circulating Material Repository series, beginning with The Grimm Legacy, which imagines a magical branch library that lends out enchanted objects from fairy tales rather than books. The series continues with The Wells Bequest, which draws its lending-library premise into the world of H.G. Wells's science fiction inventions, and The Poe Estate, which turns to the gothic tradition of Edgar Allan Poe. Shulman's novels combine a research-driven love of literary history with light fantasy adventure aimed at younger readers.
