Agnes Giberne (19 November 1845 – 20 August 1939) was a British novelist and scientific writer.[1] Her fiction was typical of Victorian evangelical fiction with moral or religious themes for children. She also wrote books on science for young people, a handful of historical novels, and one well-regarded biography.
