Carry's Rose; or, The Magic of Kindness (Esprios Classics)

Anne Jane Cupples, née Douglas (4 January 1839 - 14 November 1896) was a Scottish writer and populariser of science. She was married to a famous maritime novelist George Cupples, and after his death moved to be with her sisters in New Zealand, where she died in 1896. She wrote around fifty books in total, mostly intended for children, under the name Mrs George Cupples. Mrs Cupples' first book to be published appears to be Unexpected Pleasures or, Left Alone in the Holidays, published by W P. Nimmo, Edinburgh in 1868. This book was published when Ann Jane was twenty-nine years old, ten years since the Cupples were married, and she may have realised that she was not going to have children.
