Catherine Sinclair

    Catherine Sinclair était une auteure écossaise qui s'est écartée de l'approche moralisatrice courante dans la littérature jeunesse de son époque. Ses écrits visaient à divertir les jeunes lecteurs plutôt qu'à les instruire. Au-delà des livres pour enfants, elle a également rédigé des romans dépeignant la vie mondaine et des récits de voyage, démontrant un talent littéraire polyvalent. Son héritage englobe non seulement ses œuvres littéraires, mais aussi d'importantes actions de bienfaisance.
