Mary Martha Sherwood

    Mary Martha Sherwood bola vplyvná autorka detskej literatúry, ktorá vo svojich dielach skúmala témy evanjelikálneho náboženstva a domáceho života. Jej rozsiahla tvorba, zahŕňajúca stovky kníh a článkov, ovplyvnila názory mladých britských čitateľov na rodinný život aj vzťah Británie k Indii. Hoci jej štýl neskôr ustúpil odlišným literárnym prúdom, jej význam pre detskú literatúru 19. storočia zostáva nepopierateľný.
