About the author
Born on November 30, 1857, Annie Sarah Fenn was an English author who published as A. S. Fenn. Reliable library and research records identify her as the daughter of the prolific novelist George Manville Fenn, and they also note her married name, Cockerell.
Her books were written mainly for younger readers and include titles such as A Blind Pupil, Olive Mount, The Children of Haycombe, Their New Home, Little Dolly Forbes, and Jack’s Two Sovereigns. Surviving catalog and bibliography pages suggest a steady run of late-19th-century publications, especially with the publisher Blackie.
She died in 1893, still quite young. Although not as widely remembered as her father, her work has remained discoverable through library catalogs, Victorian fiction databases, and public-domain collections, which has helped keep her name in circulation.
