Autorenporträt
Rosa Nouchette Carey was an English children's book author and popular novelist who lived from 27 September 1840 to 9 July 1809; her writings were seen as healthy for girls and mirrored the standards of the day. Still, they are "not entirely bereft of grit and realism." Rosa was the sixth of seven children born in Stratford-le-Bow to shipbroker William Henry Carey (d. 1867) and his wife, Maria Jane, who was Edward J. Wooddill's daughter. She was raised in South Hampstead and on Tryons Road in Hackney, Middlesex, in London. She received her education at home and at the St. John's Wood Ladies' Institute, where she was friends and a contemporary of the poet Mathilde Blind (1841-1896), who was born in Germany. After her parents passed away, her family's obligations grew along with her writing career. Following the death of her mother in 1870, she and her single sister took on the role of housekeeper and caregiver for her brother, who was left widower. After the brother passed away and the sister got married, Carey was left to raise the kids by herself. Mrs. Henry Wood, a famous novelist, was one of her close acquaintances. About 1875, the poet Helen Marion Burnside moved in with her, and after her husband's death, Carey's sister came back to look after them. On July 19, 1909, Carey passed away from lung cancer in her Putney, London, residence. She was laid to rest in Hampstead Cemetery.
