Catherine Sinclair was een Schotse auteur die afweek van de moraliserende benadering die destijds gebruikelijk was in kinderliteratuur. Haar schrijven was gericht op het vermaken van jonge lezers in plaats van hen te onderwijzen. Naast kinderboeken schreef ze ook romans over het modieuze leven en reisverslagen, waarmee ze een veelzijdig literair talent toonde. Haar nalatenschap omvat niet alleen haar literaire werken, maar ook belangrijke filantropische inspanningen.
