Lucy Lyttelton Cameron (29 April 1781 – 6 September 1858, née Butt) was a British magazine editor and a writer for children with religious themes.
Her mother was born Martha Sherwood and her father George Butt[1] was the vicar in Stanford at her birth and a minor poet.
[3] Through her family's connection to Gerrard Andrewes, who by 1802 was vicar of St James's Church, Piccadilly, Lucy was introduced to London cultural figures such as the Bluestocking Elizabeth Carter and Humphry Davy, the inventor.
[4] The year after leaving school she wrote The History of Margaret Whyte, or, The life and death of a good child, joining her sister, who was already published.
Together they moved to Snedshill where he was the first curate at St Michaels Church at Donington Wood at Lilleshall in Shropshire[5] where they had twelve children.
Cameron's best known work might be The Raven and the Dove, The Nosegay of Honeysuckles, Martin and his Two Sunday Scholars or The Pink Tippet.
Previously fiction would concentrate on moral and religious themes whose purpose was to teach conformity that would benefit society.
