Mary Martha Sherwood fu un'influente autrice per l'infanzia le cui opere esplorarono temi di evangelismo e domesticità. La sua prolifica produzione, che conta centinaia di libri e articoli, plasmò le opinioni dei giovani lettori britannici sulla vita domestica e sul rapporto della Gran Bretagna con l'India. Sebbene il suo stile alla fine passò di moda con i mutevoli gusti letterari, il suo significato nella letteratura per l'infanzia del XIX secolo rimane innegabile.
