About the author
Horatia Katharine Frances Gatty Eden (1846–1945), often listed as Horatia K. F. Gatty Eden or simply Horatia Eden, was an English writer and editor from the remarkable Gatty family. She was the daughter of the Reverend Alfred Gatty and the children’s author Margaret Gatty, and the sister of Juliana Horatia Ewing, whose life and work she later helped document.
Her best-known book is Juliana Horatia Ewing and Her Books, a loving literary portrait that helped keep her sister’s reputation alive for later readers. Records of nineteenth-century editions of Aunt Judy’s Magazine and Aunt Judy’s Annual Volume also show her working in the family’s long-running world of children’s publishing.
Some sources also note her interest in marine biology and her work with her mother’s collections, especially marine invertebrates. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the sources I could verify, so no profile image is included.
