Catherine Crowe

Catherine Crowe

Catherine Crowe (née Stevens) (c. 1803 - 1876), was an English writer of dramas, children's books, and one or two novels, including "Susan Hopley" (1841), and "Lilly Dawson" (1847). She is chiefly remembered for her "Night-side of Nature" (1848; new edition, 1904), a collection of stories of the supernatural.

She was born in Borough Green, Kent. In 1822 she married an army officer surnamed Crowe, and spent most of the rest of her life in Edinburgh. In her novels, among which are "Adventures of Susan Hopley" (1841), "Lilly Dawson" (1847), and "Linny Lockwood" (1854), she showed much skill and ingenuity in the development of the plot. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_International_Encyclopedia] A later collection of her ghost stories is "Ghost Stories and Family Legends" (1859). Two tales from this book, "The Italian's Story" (1859) and "Round the Fire" (1859) are included in "Victorian Ghost Stories" (1936), edited by Montague Summers.
