Mary Ann Kilner (née Maze) (1753–1831) was a prolific writer of children's books during the late eighteenth century. The most famous was ''The Adventures of a Pincushion'' (c. 1783). Together, she and her sister-in-law, Dorothy Kilner, published over thirty books. Mary Ann published under the name "S.S.", which stood for her home in Spital Square, London. ==Early life== Mary Ann was born on 14 December 1753 at Spital (then Spittal) Square, London, the youngest child of James Maze (d. 1794), a prosperous Huguenot (i.e. French Protestant) silk throwster and merchant. She was bilingual and said to be very intelligent.〔ODNB entry for Dorothy Kilner: (Retrieved 2 January 2012. Subscription required. )〕 Her childhood friends were the siblings Dorothy (1755–1836) and Thomas Kilner (1750–1812). The two girls wrote to one another constantly during their childhood and teenage years. On 18 September 1774 Mary Ann married Thomas and moved to her husband's home at 33 Spital Square. They had five children, of whom Eliza (b. 1776), Frances (b. 1783) and George (born 1791) survived.〔ODNB entry for Dorothy Kilner.〕
