Ada J. (Jane) Graves (14 April 1870 – 8 July 1918 ) was a British children’s writer. She was born in Benares, Bengal, the daughter of James Speed Graves and Charlotte Graves. In 1881 her family was living in Midlothian, Scotland. Graves is known for two books published round the turn of the 20th century: ''The House by the Railway'' (1896) illustrated by Rosa C. Petherick and ''Four Little People and their Year at Silverhaven'' (1898) illustrated by Florence Meyerheim.〔 Joanne Shattock ''The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature'', Vol.4 1800-1900, Cambridge University Press, 2000 p.2390 ISBN 978-0-521-39100-9〕 She also wrote ''The Little Brown House'' (1902). ==Controversy== In 2011, it was claimed that significant sections of E. Nesbit's novel The Railway Children may have been plagiarised from Ada J. Graves’s ''The House by the Railway'', which was published in 1896 and later serialised in a 1904 children’s annual. 〔''Daily Mail'' 20 March 2011 (Author of classic book ''The Railway Children'' accused of plagiarism: Did E. Nesbit lift from Ada J. Graves's earlier novel? )〕〔20 March 2011'' The Telegraph'' (The Railway Children 'plagiarised' from earlier story ) 〕Both works bear remarkable similarities in plot. In both stories, children avert a train disaster by waving red flags made from pieces of their clothing to attract the driver’s attention. The young heroes in both books are presented with engraved watches. Both stories also end with a family being reunited.
