About the author
Matilda Anne Mackarness (1826–1881), who published as Mrs. Henry S. Mackarness, was an English novelist and children's writer. She was the younger daughter of James Robinson Planché and Elizabeth St. George, and early biographical sources note that she began writing novels and moral tales from a young age.
Her work is mainly associated with children's literature and domestic fiction. Older reference sources say that, as a novelist, she took Charles Dickens as a model, which helps explain the warm, instructive tone readers often find in books such as Sunbeam Stories, Only., and Etiquette for Little Folks.
