Miss (Pamela Atkins) Colman

Pamela Atkins Colman is listed in library and public-domain book records as a 19th-century author, often under the form Miss Colman, with the dates 1824–1900. Reliable catalog records connect her with works including The Lu Lu Alphabet and The Ladies' Vase of Wild Flowers, and Project Gutenberg notes Howard, Pamela Atkins as an alias.

Her surviving books suggest a writer interested in children’s reading and gift-book literature. The Lu Lu Alphabet is a picture-and-rhyme alphabet book, while The Ladies' Vase of Wild Flowers gathers literary selections in the decorative style popular with Victorian readers.

Very little biographical detail appears to be widely documented online beyond her name, dates, and bibliography. Because of that, she is best introduced through the books themselves: small, charming works that offer a glimpse of 19th-century reading for children and families.
