Edith Henrietta Fowler (16 February 1865 – 18 November 1944) was a British writer.
Her maternal grandfather was George Benjamin Thorneycroft, first Mayor of Wolverhampton.
[1] Fiction by Fowler included The Young Pretenders (1895, illustrated by Philip Burne-Jones)[2] and The Professor’s Children (1897),[3] both novels for young readers,[4] A Corner of the West (1899),[5][6] The World and Winstow (1901),[7][8] For Richer, For Poorer (1905),[9] Patricia (1915),[10][11] and Christabel (1921).
[13] The Young Pretenders, with its heroine Babs, was regarded in a review by the English novelist and editor James Payn in The Illustrated London News as "one of the best narratives of child-life I have read for years".
[14] Fowler married the Reverend Robert Hamilton in 1903; they had two sons, the younger born when she was 43 years old.
