Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Josephine Daskam Bacon (Mrs. Selden Bacon) was an American writer of great versatility. She is chiefly known as a writer who made the point of having female protagonists. She wrote a series of juvenile mysteries, as well as works dealing with more serious themes. She published books of poetry, which were well received by critics; as noted by one critic, some of her poetry was set to music. She wrote on "women's issues" and women's roles as well. She was a pioneer in the Girl Scouts movement and compiled the guidebook used by that organization. -from:Wikipedia
