GC wrote over thirty novels, works for children, and contributions for periodical publications, between the mid and the late nineteenth century. Her novels frequently use sensational scenarios, and often feature self-sufficient heroines who prove to be more capable than the men they marry. Although there is a modern perception of her work as undistinguished,

GC 's novels, and particularly her children's books, remained popular well into the early twentieth century.
