Flora E. (Flora Eliza) Berry

Flora E. Berry, usually listed as Flora Eliza Berry, was a British author associated with children’s fiction. Sources found for this profile agree that she lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and died in 1949, and several library and book records connect her most clearly with Monica's Choice.

Reader and catalog sources describe her books as children’s stories with an evangelical Christian tone. Monica's Choice, originally issued in the early 1900s and now available through Project Gutenberg, follows a teenage girl and reflects the kind of character-focused, morally serious storytelling that was common in that period.

Some biographical details appear in reader-community sources, including that she was born in Deptford and later lived in parts of Sussex and Dorset, ending her life in Swanage. Because those details were not strongly confirmed in more authoritative biographical references during this search, they should be treated with a little caution.
