John Keble's Parishes

Charlotte Mary Yonge was a prolific English novelist whose works were deeply influenced by her commitment to the Church of England and the Oxford Movement. Beginning her writing career in 1848, she published around 100 novels, with "The Heir of Redclyffe" marking her first major success. The profits from her novels often supported charitable endeavors, including the funding of the schooner Southern Cross. Additionally, she served as editor of the "Monthly Packet," a magazine aimed at British Anglican girls, for nearly forty years.
