Classic Juvenile Fiction
 
Under the pen name of “Aunt Kitty” she published a juvenile story entitled “Blind Alice” that at once became popular (1841), and was followed by others (New York, 1843), the whole series being issued in one volume as Aunt Kitty's Tales (1847). On the recommendation of the tragedian
Macready, these and many of her subsequent tales were reprinted in London. Her writings are each illustrative of a moral sentiment.
