Non-notable children's book author. Her literary work does not contain any notable books. Could not find any references to establish notability. Millbrooky (talk) 16:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC) Keep Per Phil Hobit (talk) 01:05, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've added a couple of references to the article. OK, they're not extensive, but the fact that I could come up with online sources in five minutes for an author who was active over a hundred years ago indicates that she must have been notable in her time, and notability doesn't expire. There seem to be plenty more sources available via a Google Books search but in nearly all cases no more than a snippet is displayed, so research in a library would be needed to expand the article further.
