Mary Roberts (18 March 1788 – 13 January 1864) was an English author who predominantly wrote about natural history and the countryside around her.
Little is known about her early life, although it is known that in 1790 Mary Roberts moved with her parents to Painswick in Gloucestershire where she began writing her works on natural history.
Although born and brought up a Quaker, Mary Roberts left the society after the death of her father, when she moved with her mother to Brompton Square, London.
Some passages in her Annals of my Village, Being a Calendar of Nature for Every Month in the Year (1831), fall little short of the descriptive power of Richard Jefferies.
She is also considered to be the author of two pacifist tracts for the Peace Society of London, both of which were published anonymously in 1825 and 1831.
