Elizabeth Missing Sewell (yes Missing was her middle name) was born in 1815 in England and was an author of novels for children. According to the Oxford Companion to Children's Literature her writing stressed religious education and her writing style was somewhat akin to that of Charlotte M Yonge. She died in 1906. According to Bayard Tuckerman's A History of English Prose Fiction, "A curious form of the novel of purpose is that written in the interest of religious sects or special tenets, of which specimens may be found in the writings of Elizabeth M. Sewell, who advocated High Church doctrines."
