Phoebe Allen

Born in Hampshire in 1850, Phoebe Allen was an English writer whose work has remained in circulation through public-domain and library collections. Sources located during research consistently connect her with books for younger readers, and one biographical listing describes her as a children's author and editor with a special interest in botany.

Two of her best-known surviving works are The Forbidden Room; Or, "Mine Answer was My Deed" and Peeps at Heraldry. The first is a children's novel, while the second was published in 1912 as an illustrated, approachable guide to heraldry for younger audiences.

Allen died in 1933. Reliable portrait information was not clearly confirmed in the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included here.
