The authorship of this anonymous work can be attributed to Elizabeth Somerville, author of several children's books, on the basis of a book-list at the end of Harriet Mandeville's Familiar Conversations (no date but c.1802) and the title-page of Somerville's The New Children in the Wood (1802). This information also suggests a date of c.1801 for A Grandmother's story. See Moon 1990: 112-13.
