Emilie K. (Emilie Kip) Baker

Emilie K. Baker, also listed as Emilie Kip Baker, was an American author and editor known for books that introduced mythology and literature to younger readers. Reference sources identify her full name as Emilie Addoms Kip Baker, with birth and death dates of June 9, 1873 and March 3, 1951.

Her best-known works include Stories of Old Greece and Rome and Stories from Northern Myths, both published by Macmillan in the 1910s. She also edited Short Stories and Selections, for Use in the Secondary Schools (1916), showing her strong connection to classroom reading and literary study.

A few library and author records note that she was married to Franklin T. Baker, an influential figure in English education at Teachers College, Columbia. Reliable biographical detail about her life appears to be fairly limited online, but her published work clearly centers on making myth, legend, and classic reading accessible to students.
