Occupation | author |
Sarah Pitt was a 19th-century English children's author. She wrote several children's novels published by Cassell and Co., during a period of activity between 1881 and 1900. [1] In addition she provided several short stories for the publication Little Folks, a "magazine for the young" which was also published by Cassell. [2]
Reviews in the Spectator magazine in November 1886 described Sarah Pitt's novel Bear and Forbear as "one of the good things of the year." [3] In 1891 it praised The White House at Inch Gow as "a quite harmless story, prettily told". [4]
Pitt's second novel, Fritters: or, 'It's a Long Lane that has no Turning' appeared in 1885 in the "Proverbs" series: "original stories by popular authors founded upon and illustrating well-known proverbs". [5] It is a "bad-boy-turns-good" story, in which didacticism is accompanied by a realistic narrative, set in the London Docklands.
The White House at Inch Gow and A Limited Success have been reprinted in the British Library Historical Print editions series. [6]
