Critic Gaye Tuchman
with Nina E. Fortin

She handed on the latter post to Mary Howitt
at her marriage. She had been contributing to such lavish annual publications since she wrote for the Forget-Me-Not in 1823, and her name became closely associated with this highly feminized form of book, which brought together in lavish bindings for the Christmas gift market high quality engravings with contributions in poetry and prose, often written to accompany them.
