Amy Le Feuvre

Amy Le Feuvre (1861–1929) was a British writer of children's literature, born in Blackheath, London, and died in Exeter, Devon, in 1929. A lifelong and prolific author, she wrote more than sixty children's stories, including Probable Sons and Teddy's Button, which are imbued with a Christian spirit. She was one of the most prolific and popular authors of the Religious Tract Society. Nine of her works are held in this collection, among them 'Me and Nobbles', Odd, Jill's Red Bag, The Carved Cupboard, Dwell Deep or, Hilda Thorn's Life Story, and His Big Opportunity. These stories are mostly set in the everyday lives of children and convey faith and character education through tales of family and growing up. Public information about her early education and personal life is limited; her work is best understood through the religious character of its subject matter and its narrative style for young readers.
