Hesba Stretton was the pseudonym of Sarah Smith (27 July 1832 – 8 October 1911), an evangelical English author of religious books for children. These were highly popular. By the late 19th century Jessica's First Prayer had sold a million and a half copies – ten times more than Alice in Wonderland. She concocted "Hesba Stretton" from the initials of herself and four surviving siblings, along with the name of a Shropshire village she visited, All Stretton, where her sister Anne owned a house, Caradoc Lodge.

(ru) Hesba Stretton (Sarah Smith, 1832-1911), escritora, nacida el 27 de julio de 1832 en New Street, Wellington (Shropshire), era la cuarta de los ocho hijos (la tercera hija) de Benjamin Smith, librero y editor, y de su esposa Ann Bakewell, mujer de fuertes convicciones evangélicas, que murió cuando Sarah tenía ocho años. Ésta asistió a una escuela diurna para niñas mayores en el Old Hall (Watling Street, Wellington), dirigida por Mrs. Cranage. Pero la educación de Sarah fue adquirida principalmente mediante la lectura de libros en la tienda de su padre. Pronto comenzó a escribir pequeños cuentos sin intención de publicarlos. Sin embargo, en 1859 su hermana Elizabeth (1830-1911), su compañera de toda la vida, envió, sin consultar con Sarah, uno de estos relatos, The Lucky Leg, a Charles Dick (es) Hesba Stretton, pseudonym för Sarah Smith, född 27 juli 1832 i Wellington, Shropshire, död 8 oktober 1911, var en brittisk författare. Smith var verksam som journalist innan hon 1859 inträdde på författarbanan med novellen The Lucky Leg som publicerades i tidskriften Household Words där Charles Dickens var redaktör. Hon etablerade sig som en omtyckt författare av barnböcker, gärna med religiösa motiv. Genombrottsromanen, Jessica's First Prayer, utgiven 1866, sålde under författarens livstid i över två miljoner exemplar. Uppföljaren, Jessica's Mother (1867), översattes till femton europeiska och asiatiska språk och introducerades som obligatorisk läsning för alla ryska skolbarn av tsar Alexander II. (sv)
