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 [2] and Augusta Mary Shakespear Childe-Pemberton. In 1859, her father served as Sheriff of Shropshire. In 1870, she was presented to Queen Victoria. [3] Her younger brother William Shakespear Childe-Pemberton (1859–1924) was also a writer, best known as a biographer. [4] [5] [6]

Childe-Pemberton lived in London later in life, and wrote plays, poems, short stories, novels, and literary criticism. [7] 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. [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Several of her books were published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. [14]

She died in 1921 at Wyche Cottage, in Malvern, Worcestershire. [1]
