Rosa Nouchette Carey (27 September 1840 - 9 July 1909) was an English children's writer and popular novelist, whose works reflected the values of her time and were thought of as wholesome for girls. However, they are "not entirely bereft of grit and realism." Nellie's Memories appears to have sold over 50,000 copies. Most of her 33 three-decker novels told pious, domestic stories, thought of as wholesome fiction for girls in the last third of the 19th century. Often sentimental, they reflect the values of the period, "treating housekeeping and woman's caring role as real work." However, her 1869 novel Wee Wifie features vitriol-throwing, opium addiction, and hereditary insanity. Also notable are Carey's sympathetic portrayals of women suffering from mental illness.

Autorenporträt
Rosa Nouchette Carey was an English children's book author and popular novelist who lived from 27 September 1840 to 9 July 1809; her writings were seen as healthy for girls and mirrored the standards of the day. Still, they are "not entirely bereft of grit and realism." Rosa was the sixth of seven children born in Stratford-le-Bow to shipbroker William Henry Carey (d. 1867) and his wife, Maria Jane, who was Edward J. Wooddill's daughter. She was raised in South Hampstead and on Tryons Road in Hackney, Middlesex, in London. She received her education at home and at the St. John's Wood Ladies' Institute, where she was friends and a contemporary of the poet Mathilde Blind (1841-1896), who was born in Germany. After her parents passed away, her family's obligations grew along with her writing career. Following the death of her mother in 1870, she and her single sister took on the role of housekeeper and caregiver for her brother, who was left widower. After the brother passed away and the sister got married, Carey was left to raise the kids by herself. Mrs. Henry Wood, a famous novelist, was one of her close acquaintances. About 1875, the poet Helen Marion Burnside moved in with her, and after her husband's death, Carey's sister came back to look after them. On July 19, 1909, Carey passed away from lung cancer in her Putney, London, residence. She was laid to rest in Hampstead Cemetery.
