Marjorie Barrows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marjorie Barrows (1892 – 1983)[1] was an American magazine editor, book compiler, and author.
Barrows was an editor of Child Life Magazine and Family Weekly, as well as a book reviewer for The Continent.[2][3][4] A 1932 article from the Spring Lake Gazette stated that Barrows was "a famous editor of Child Life Magazine and that she was an "internationally recognized editor" of the same magazine.[5] An article from School Life reported in 1933 that she "has the endorsement of leading children's librarians".[6]
A 1932 review in the Standard-Examiner reported that The Picture Book of Poetry, which was compiled by Barrows, has "gems of verses by writers who understand boys and girls".[2] The Denton Record-Chronicle reviewed The Family Reader in 1961, stating, The Family Reader is a book for your lighter moments, for the times you want to relax and lose yourself in a good story".[3]
