Alice Geer Kelsey was a 20th-century author of numerous children's books, many of which were based on folk tales she collected during her long public service career in Europe and the Near East. Mrs. Kelsey was born ''Alice Geer'' in Danvers, Massachusetts and grew up in Lewiston, Maine and West Hartford, Connecticut. She received her B.A. in history from Mount Holyoke College in 1918. In 1919 she married Lincoln David Kelsey and immediately thereafter left on the second boat taking relief workers to the Near East after World War I. She worked with war orphans at Merzifoun, Turkey, and collected the stories retold in "Once the Hodja". In 1928, Mr. Kelsey joined the faculty of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where the Kelseys made their home. Mrs. Kelsey is the sister of classicist Russel M. Geer, who, in 1955, famously resigned in protest as Tulane University's Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences over what he perceived as undue academic favoritism to two football players. ==External links== *( Fan website for "Once the Hodja" ) *(Books by Alice Geer Kelsey ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alice Geer Kelsey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
