She was educated at a day school for girls run by Mrs. Cranage at the Old Hall in Watling Street and she read widely from among the books in her father's shop. From her mother she inherited deep religious feelings and convictions which were to colour her later writings. She began writing stories when quite young but was twenty-seven years old before she had anything published.

Publishers Inheritance Publications Canon Press Alphabetical Listing All Titles Send email to Little Pilgrim Book Shoppe Jessica's First Prayer and Jessica's Mother by Hesba Stretton "You've had no breakfast, I suppose," said that coffee-stall keeper, in the same low and confidential voice, and leaning over his stall till his face nearly touched the thin, sharp features of the child. "No," she replied coolly, "and I shall want my dinner dreadful bad afore I get it, I know. You don't often feel dreadfully hungry, do you, Sir? I'm not griped yet, you know; but afore I taste my dinner it'll be pretty bad, I tell you. Ah! very bad indeed!" She turned away with a knowing nod, as much as if to say she had one experience in life to which he was quite a strangeer; but before she had gone half a dozen steps she heard the quiet voice calling to her in rather louder tones, and in an instant she was back at the stall. The Sword and Trowel says (about jessica's First Prayer ): "One of the most tender, touching, and withal gracious stories that we ever remember to have read. A dear little book for our children. We are not ashamed of having shed tears while reading it; in fact, should have been ten times more ashamed if we had not. The sweet portrait of the poor child Jessica is a study, and old Daniel is perfect in his own way." Hesba Stretton (Sarah Smith, 1832-1911) was born in Wellington, England. She was a co-founder of the London Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, and wrote many fictional books for children.
