The Garden, You, and I (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

Mabel Osgood Wright (1859-1934) was an American author, born in New York City. She became president of the Audubon Society of the State of Connecticut on its organization in 1898. Beginning as a writer about children, nature, and outdoor life, she received a cordial reception from the public, but concealed her identity as the author of later books, novels, until they had won recognition independently. Much of the material to which she gave attractive literary expression she found in the large garden at her home in Fairfield, Connecticut. Her works include: The Friendship of Nature: A New England Chronicle of Birds (1894), Tommy-Anne and the Three Hearts (1898), The Dream Fox Story Book (1900), Flowers and Ferns in their Haunts (1901), People of the Whirlpool (1903), The Garden of a Commuter's Wife (1905), At the Sign of the Fox (1905), The Garden, You, and I (1906), The Open Window: Tales of the Months (1908), Poppea of the Post-Office (1909), Princess Flower Hat (1910), The Love that Lives (1911) and The Stranger at the Gates: A Story of Christmas (1913).
