Mabel Osgood Wright

Mabel Osgood Wright

Mabel Osgood Wright was an American author, born in New York City. In 1884 she was married to James Osborne Wright, an Englishman. 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, Conn. Her writings include:
* "The Friendship of Nature" (1894)
* "Birdcraft" (1895)
* "Four-Footed Americans" (1899)
* "Flowers and Ferns in their Haunts" (1901)
* "The Garden of a Commuter's Wife" (1901), under the pseudonym of "Barbara"
* "Dogtown" (1902)
* "The People of the Whirlpool" (1902)
* "The Garden, You, and I" (1906)
* "The Open Window" (1908)
* "Poppea of the Post Office" (1908)
* "The Love that Lives" (1911)
* "The Stranger at the Gate" (1913)
