(a Lady of England), was born on May 8, 1821 , the daughter of Henry St George Tucker, a distinguished official of the East India Company. Charlotte was educated at home, and it was not until her father’s death in 1851 that she engaged in her literary career. Until her death, Charlotte wrote many books for children and dedicated the proceeds to charity. Most of her stories were allegories with clear moral teaching. She seriously fell ill for a second time and was soon buried on December 5, 1893 . There is an inscription to her memory which states that she was a women of much energy and determination.
