(Jane) Graves (14 April 1870 – 8 July 1918) was a British children's writer.
Graves is known for two books published round the turn of the 20th century: The House by the Railway (1896) illustrated by Rosa C. Petherick and Four Little People and their Year at Silverhaven (1898) illustrated by Florence Meyerheim.
In 2011, it was claimed that significant sections of E Nesbit's novel The Railway Children may have been plagiarised from Ada J. Graves's The House by the Railway, which was published in 1896 and later serialised in a 1904 children's annual.
In both stories, children avert a train disaster by waving red flags made from pieces of their clothing to attract the driver's attention.
She had run back into her home in Kalighat to look for her daughter, not realising that the girl had already been taken to safety by a nanny.
