      • Barbra Mathilde Ring (4 July 1870 – 6 May 1955) was a Norwegian novelist, short story writer, children's writer, biographer, memoirist, literary critic and theatre critic. She made her literary début in 1904 with the girl's novel Babbens Dagbog. Her children's books about "Peik" and other characters achieved great popularity. Her first novel for adults was Jomfruen, published in 1914.
      Ring is probably best remembered for her children's books. Her folkloric story "Itte no knussel" (from the story collection Fnugg) is also characterized as a little pearl, and her novel Eldjarstad is named as her best work in this genre.


      Personal life


      Ring was born in Drammen to judge Ole Ring and Thora Augusta Ravn. She was the great-granddaughter of Hanna Winsnes. She married wholesaler Thorvald Kirsebom in 1890, and they had the daughter Gerda Ring in 1891. The couple divorced in 1902. In 1917 she married colonel Ragnar Rosenquist.
