Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards (7 June 1831 – 15 April 1892), also known as Amelia B. Edwards,〔(【引用サイトリンク】website=Goodreads )〕 was an English novelist, journalist, traveller and Egyptologist. Her most successful literary works included the ghost story "The Phantom Coach" (1864), the novels ''Barbara's History'' (1864) and ''Lord Brackenbury'' (1880), and the Egyptian travelogue ''A Thousand Miles up the Nile'' (1877), which described her 1873–1874 voyage up the Nile River. In 1882, she co-founded the Egypt Exploration Fund (now the Egypt Exploration Society) and became its joint Honorary Secretary. In 1889–1890, she toured the United States lecturing on Egyptian exploration.
== Early life ==
Born in London to an Irish mother and a father who had been a British Army officer before becoming a banker, Edwards was educated at home by her mother and showed considerable promise as a writer at a young age. She published her first poem at age seven, her first story at age 12. Edwards thereafter proceeded to publish a variety of poetry, stories, and articles in a large number of magazines including ''Chamber's Journal'', ''Household Words'', and ''All the Year Round''. She also wrote for the ''Saturday Review'' and the ''Morning Post''.
