Edith Carrington (1853 - 1929) was a prominent English animal rights activist and promoter of vegetarianism. She was for sometime an artist, but began to write books on animals from 1889. She was a vocal opponent of Eleanor Anne Ormerod’s campaign seeking the extermination of the house sparrow and was an anti-vivisectionist. She wrote regularly in The Animals’ Friend (established in 1894) and was a collaborator of Henry Stephens Salt and was a participant in the Humanitarian League (established 1891). Carrington’s first book Stories for Somebody was written when she was thirty-five. She later wrote a number of animal stories for children. One series Animal Life Readers edited by Carrington and Ernest Bell was illustrated by Harrison Weir and others. She also ran a children’s magazine called Our Animal Brothers.
