About the author

Mary Ann Kilner

1753–1831

A lively late-18th-century writer of children's books, she is best remembered for The Adventures of a Pincushion and for helping shape early English writing for young readers. Writing under the name "S. S.," she turned everyday objects and simple stories into moral lessons with charm and imagination.
