Harriett Mozley

-
HM 's writings, published over about a decade of the mid-nineteenth century, are deeply involved with the sectarian struggles within the Church of England to which her brother, later Cardinal Newman , largely contributed. She issued three collections of tales for children and one adult novel, besides much writing for children's periodicals which is still unidentified. She also left interesting letters.
