Hannah Farnham Sawyer Lee (November 5, 1780[1]-December 27, 1865[2]) was an American author, best known for her 1837 novelette Three Experiments of Living which was published in more than 30 editions in the United States, and 10 in England. Lee was a popular novelist during her life, though her writing was not lauded and her success is now largely forgotten.[3]
