About the author

Evelyn R. Garratt was a British author active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A Victorian fiction database identifies her as the daughter of the Rev. Samuel Garratt, vicar of St. Margaret's, Ipswich, and records novels including Mother's Nell (1877), Lottie's Silver Burden (1879), Free to Serve (1881), Over the Water (1884), Tied and Bound (1887), and Sally, a Village Idyll (1900).

Her surviving bibliography suggests a writer interested in faith, family life, and moral choice. Project Gutenberg also lists The Radiant City, Luke's Wife, Geoff's Little Sister, and Meg of the Heather, showing that several of her works have remained available to modern readers.

Garratt also wrote Life and Personal Recollections of Samuel Garratt in 1908, which points to a personal and biographical side to her work as well as her fiction. A clear, confirmed portrait was not readily available from the sources I found, so no profile image is included.
