EWING, JULIANA HORATIA ORR English writer of books for children, daughter of the Rev. Alfred Gatty and of Margaret Gatty (q.v.), was born at Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, in 1841. One of a large family, she was accustomed to act as nursery story-teller to her brothers and sisters, and her brother Alfred Scott Gatty provided music to accompany her plays. Many of her stories appeared in Aunt Judy's Magazine, which her mother started in 1866. In 1867 she married Major Alexander Ewing, the composer of the well-known hymn "Jerusa lem the Golden." From this time until her death (May 13, 1885), Mrs. Ewing produced a number of charming children's stories. The best of these are: The Brownies (187o), A Flat-Iron for a Farth ing (1873), Lob-lie-by the Fire (1874), The Story of a Short Life (1885) and Jackanapes (1884), which is a classic. Simple and unaffected in style, and sound and wholesome in matter, with quiet touches of humour and bright sketches of scenery and character, Mrs. Ewing's best stories have never been surpassed in the style of literature to which they belong.
