A German juvenile writer; born in Kalisch, June 28, 1810. She was the daughter of a prominent physician. When comparatively young she undertook the training of the Princess Czartoriski's children, developing then her talent as a story-teller. "The Little Father and his Grandchild", "Aunt's Trip to the Baths", and "My First White Hair", are among her greatest successes. In 1856 she married Franz von Schober, under whose name she is also known. Her later productions, especially "Heart-leaf Pastime", and "Treasury of Books for Germany's Daughters", have maintained her popularity. She died April 2, 1897.
