Mary Catherine Rowsell (29 December 1839 – 15 June 1921) was an English novelist, author of children’s fiction, and dramatist. Her education in Belgium and Germany resulted in books based on German folk tales, and on French historical figures. Most of her children’s books were set around well-known historical events.
