About the author

Born Henrietta Keddie in Scotland in 1827, she published as Sarah Tytler and became a remarkably productive Victorian author. She wrote across several forms, including novels, historical fiction, and books for girls, creating stories that were accessible, energetic, and often centered on everyday character and moral choices.

Her long career stretched from the mid-19th century into the early 20th century, and her books appeared in great number for both adult and younger audiences. She is still remembered today through reprints and digital editions that have kept many of her works in circulation.

Some biographical details are less easy to confirm from the sources I found, but the record is clear that Sarah Tytler was the pen name of Henrietta Keddie and that she lived from 1827 to 1914.
