About the author

FS

Frederica Seeger

Best remembered for a lively 1910 collection of games and amusements, this early 20th-century writer created practical entertainment for families, churches, and schools. Very little biographical information survives, but the work itself suggests a warm, hands-on interest in group fun and community life.
