Lucy L. Weedon was a British children's writer who published as L. L. Weedon. Catalog and bookseller records consistently place her work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and some bibliographic listings identify her life dates as 1862–1939.
Her books were written for young audiences and often appeared with publishers such as Ernest Nister and E. P. Dutton. She is associated with story collections, religious retellings, fairy-tale adaptations, and playful picture books, including titles such as Bible Stories, The Children's Party, The Pets' Panorama, Up and Down, and Fairy Tales by Wilhelm Hauff in translation.
Much of her surviving reputation comes through these charming children's books, several of which remain available in library and public-domain collections today. Reliable portrait images were not readily confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no author photo is included here.
