About the author

Agnes Giberne was a prolific English author who wrote fiction with moral or religious themes for children and also books on astronomy for young people.

Educated by governesses in Europe and England after her father Major Charles Giberne retired from service in India, Agnes Giberne started publishing didactic novels and short stories with improving themes under her initials A.G., some of it for the Religious Tract Society. Later she used her full name for her fiction, for her well-received works on astronomy and the natural world, and for her biography of the children's writer Charlotte Maria Tucker. Most of her writing was done before 1910.

Giberne was an amateur astronomer who worked on the committee setting up the British Astronomical Association and became a founder-member in 1890. Her popular illustrated book Sun, Moon and Stars: Astronomy for Beginners (1879), with a foreword by Oxford Professor of Astronomy, Charles Pritchard, was printed in several editions on both sides of the Atlantic, and sold 24,000 copies in its first 20 years. Later she wrote a book called "Among the Stars" which, as Giberne explains in the Introduction, is a version of "Sun, Moon and Stars" for younger children. It is about a boy called Ikon who is very interested in the stars. He meets a Professor who explains more about the stars and solar system to Ikon.

Reviews

[Bethany M. Griggs]

This story!! It sucked me in so much, and I could hardly put it down. I went into it with not much in the way of expectations and was blown away by how much I enjoyed it and how attached I got to the characters. And a certain character was such a disappointment, but I'm also amazed how well the author portrayed that person correctly to the reader. The book is over 400 pages, but I wanted more!! Especially right at the end, I'd have liked to have seen some things play out. But though the book ended, it continues to live in my mind. The lesson of love to God was also a very fitting one for where I am right now.
