Florence Scovel Shinn

Florence Scovel Shinn was an American artist and book illustrator who became a New Thought spiritual teacher in middle age. Her first book, The Game of Life and How to Play It, appeared in 1925. It presents her view that spoken words and expectations shape experience, and it is built from practical stories and short affirmations. She wrote several more books in the same vein before her death in 1940.
