Isabella Macdonald Alden (1841-1930) was an American author, who wrote under the pseudonym of "Pansy". Alden was born in Rochester, New York. In addition to much fiction for older readers, her works include the Pansy Books. She edited the young folks' journal Pansy from 1873 until 1896, and was at various times on the editorial staff of the Christian Endeavor World and other religious magazines, Japanese as well as American. She wrote The Prince of Peace, A Life of Christ, (revised, 1908); Unto the End (1902); Her Own Way (1912); A Long Way Home (1912); and A King's Daughter (1913). Her works were translated into many foreign languages. Alden died in Palo Alto, California, aged 88.

The room was very full. Children, large and small, boys and girls, and some looking almost old enough to be called men and women, filled the seats. The scholars had just finished singing their best-loved hymn, “Happy Land;” and the superintendent was walking up and down the room, spying out classes here and there which were without teachers, and supplying them from the visitors’ seat, which was up by the desk.

Excerpt from Gertrude's Diary: And the CubeWe are to write in it every day, and are to put the golden texts at the beginning of each month, as measures for us to measure our days by.Mr. Neale told us that. We think it is a real queer idea; and Prissy says she guesses there will be some funny measuring, but we like to do it, after all. We like everything that Mr. Neale says. He is our minister, and he is nice and pleasant. We don't think of being afraid of him, though the first Sunday he had our class we all thought we should faint. He has it often now - once a month. Miss Archer, our teacher, goes home once a month and stays over Sunday, and Mr. Neale takes her place. He doesn't think it is nice for a teacher to go away once a month and leave her class, but we girls do we wish she would go home every Sunday, and leave us to Mr. Neale.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
