Mary Howitt (1799 1888) was one of the most prolific female writers
and translators of her day, producing over a hundred titles in her
lifetime. Held in high regard by her contemporaries, Howitt was
best known for her Scandinavian interests, particularly for her
translations of Frederika Bremer and Hans Christian Andersen. She
also published numerous collections of poetry and stories,
sometimes in partnership with her husband, the writer William
Howitt. This two-volume autobiography was published posthumously in
1889, and was completed and edited by her daughter Margaret. Volume
1 covers the first forty-four years of Howitt's life: a Quaker
childhood, marriage to William Howitt, the birth of their children,
and family life in Nottingham, Esher, and Heidelberg. It also
includes several illustrations of family members and various
residences. For more information on this author, see http:
