Emilia Marryat (later Emilia Marryat Norris; 1835?-1875) was a British author. The daughter of author Capt. Frederick Marryat and his wife Catherine, she was known as an children's author who wrote adventure novels infused with moral lessons in the style of her father. Some of her novels, including ''Amongst the Maoris'' (1874), are set in the Pacific and New Zealand. ''Amongst the Maoris'' is the first novel to take the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island as a setting. Though two of her novels have Australian content, she is not known to have ever visited the country.〔 Her sisters Florence and Augusta were also authors: Augusta wrote adventure fiction (''Left to Themselves: A Boy's Adventure in Australia'' (1878)),〔 and Florence was a prolific author of sensationalist novels who also acquired a reputation for hanging out with spiritual mediums. ==Bibliography== A full bibliography is available in ''The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature: 1800-1900'', Vol. 4. *''Temper'' (1854) *''Henry Lyle'' (1856) *''The Early Station in Life'' (1867) *''Paul Howard's Captivity and Why He Escaped'' (1876) *''The Stolen Cherries, or Tell the Truth at Once'' (1869) *''Amongst the Maoris'' (1874) *''The Sea-Side Home and the Smugglers' Cave'' (1875) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Emilia Marryat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
