About the author

Frederica Seeger is known for Entertainments for Home, Church and School, a collection of activities and amusements that was published in New York by The Christian Herald around 1910 and later preserved by libraries and Project Gutenberg.

The book was edited by Theodore Waters and gathers games, recitations, and social entertainments meant for families, church groups, and classrooms. That practical, community-minded focus gives Seeger a distinct place among writers of popular recreational and educational books from the early 1900s.

Reliable biographical details about her life are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember her through the book that bears her name and the warm, organized spirit of fun it was created to encourage.
