Isabella Macdonald Alden (pen name, Pansy; November 3, 1841 – August 5, 1930) was an American author.
Her best known works were: Four Girls at Chautauqua, Chautauqua Girls at Home, Tip Lewis and his Lamp, Three People, Links in Rebecca's Life, Julia Reid, Ruth Erskine's Crosses, The King's Daughter, The Browning Boys, From Different Standpoints, Mrs.
Harry Harper's Awakening, The Measure, and Spun from Fact.She also wrote the primary lesson department of the Westminister Teacher, edited the Presbyterian Primary Quarterly and the children's magazine Pansy, and wrote a serial story for the Herald and Presbyter of Cincinnati every winter.
Alden was interested in Sunday school primary teaching, and had charge of more than a hundred children every Sunday for many years.
She was interested in temperance also, but health issues and a busy life kept her from taking an active part in the work.
She gave liberally to the cause, and four of her books, Three People, The King's Daughter, One Commonplace Day, and Little Fishers and their Nets, were distinctively temperance books, while the principle of total abstinence was maintained in all her writings.
