Mary Helen Beckwith
Mary Helen Beckwith was an author of educational texts for children: When First We Go to School, In Mythland (1896) and Lesson Plans: Domestic Animals (c. 1907). The dedication and preface to In Mythland suggests she may have been a kindergarten teacher herself. The words ‘Florence Kindergarten’ appear beneath her name at the end of the preface; this may mean that she lived and taught in Florence, Massachusetts, an area where her illustrator Susanne Lathrop was also active.
