Eliza Ware Farrar (July 12, 1791– April 22, 1870) was an American author who wrote several books in children's literature.
[1] During her early life, she and her family left France during the French Revolution and moved to England where she was educated.
Here, she was an active member of the Friends Meeting, a religious society for Quakers; however, she was eventually disowned by this organization for her liberal views as a New Light.
[1] With these publications, she was recorded as Mrs. John Farrar, but even still she was a known name and revered as a respectable individual based on her works.
[1] After his death in 1853, she returned to release Recollections of Seventy Years[3] in which she discuses her life in an autobiographical fashion.
