Edward Hugessen Knatchbull-Hugessen (1829-1893), later Lord Brabourne, was a notable Victorian writer of fantasy and fairy stories for children. His earlier collections, Hiawatha’s Sisters, Moonshine & Magic, etc., had considerable contemporary popularity and exerted a quiet influence on the later fairy-tale revival.
