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.

Reviews

[Amanda Joyce Woods · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think I loved this book because of it being so nostalgic. Having the original 1903 publication in my hands had me awestruck. My favorite poem out of the book was The Little Dead Child. As morbid as it may have been, it rang a certain truth about the time that Daskam lived through. Death and anguish was everywhere, and what better way to reflect on these truths that making it into something that can be so beautifully heard; poetry.
