d. 1934
Best known for Into the Highways and Hedges, this British novelist wrote stories of late Victorian and Edwardian life with a keen eye for character and social detail.

by F. F. (Frances Frederica) Montrésor
Frances Frederica Montrésor (23 September 1862–17 October 1934) was a British novelist of the Victorian era. Reliable catalog and reference sources identify her as F. F. Montrésor, and note that she is especially remembered for her debut novel, Into the Highways and Hedges (1895).
She came from a military family: reference sources describe her as the daughter of Admiral Frederick Byng Montrésor and Emily Maria Delafield. She never married, and later records place her living in Kensington with her mother.
Montrésor wrote a number of novels in the 1890s and early 1900s, including Worth While, At the Cross-Roads, The Alien, and The Burning Torch. Her work now survives mainly through library archives, Project Gutenberg, and public-domain editions, which have helped keep her fiction available to modern readers.
