Harriet Louisa Childe-Pemberton (1 April 1852 – 1922) was an English author of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.

Biography

Harriet Louisa Childe-Pemberton was born in 1852, in St Leonards-On-Sea, Sussex, and raised at Millichope Park, Munslow, Shropshire, the daughter of Charles Orlando Childe-Pemberton[1] and Augusta Mary Shakespear Childe-Pemberton. In 1859, her father served as Sheriff of Shropshire. In 1870, she was presented to Queen Victoria.[2] Her younger brother William Shakespear Childe-Pemberton (1859–1924) was also a writer, best known as a biographer.[3][4][5]

Childe-Pemberton lived in London later in life, and wrote plays, poems, short stories, novels, and literary criticism.[6] Her 1882 story "All My Doing; or, Red Riding-Hood Over Again" remains of interest to literary scholars, for its unique retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood tale.[7][8][9][10][11][12] Several of her books were published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge.[13] She died in 1922.
