About the author

Marian Isabel Hurrell was a children's author whose work survives mainly through library records, bookseller listings, and Project Gutenberg editions. The confirmed evidence available here shows that she wrote a number of storybooks for young readers, including A Three-Fold Promise, Cinderella's Prince, Enemies: A Tale for Little Lads and Lasses, Wilful Jack, and Into a Sunlit Harbour.

The books linked to her name were published around the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with several issued by S. W. Partridge & Co. Their titles and descriptions suggest fiction aimed at children, often with a strong interest in conduct, friendship, family life, and moral growth.

Reliable biographical detail about her life appears to be scarce in the sources I could confirm during this search. I was able to verify her as an author with multiple published works, but not enough solid personal-history information to confidently add dates, places, or a fuller life story.
