For the Children's Hour by Clara Lewis

Carolyn Sherwin Bailey (1875-1961) was an American children's author. She was born in Hoosick Falls, New York and attended Teachers College, Columbia University, from which she graduated in 1896. She contributed to the Ladies' Home Journal and other magazines, and published volumes of stories for children, methods of story telling, methods of teaching children, etc., which include Boys and Girls of Colonial Days (1917), Broad Stripes and Bright Stars (1919), Flint: The Story of a Trail (1922), and Friendly Tales (1923). In 1947, her book Miss Hickory won the Newbery Medal. She wrote with Clara M. Lewis For the Children's Hour (1906).
Carolyn Sherwin Bailey was born in Hoosick Falls, New York and spent her childhood in the little Hudson River town of Lansingburg. She studied at Teachers College, Columbia University and the New York School of Social Work and began writing afterward (an activity which eventually produced thirty-five books).

The author and her husband, Dr. Eben C. Hill, lived for many years on Hill Farm, in Temple, New Hampshire, whose antiques and apple orchard inspired the Newbery Medal-winning book Miss Hickory (1947).
