Author: Mrs. Atkyns
Author: Mrs. Atkyns (birth and death dates unknown)
Biography: This author cannot be traced. Note: Several sources such as Boase and Blain attribute these four novels to Anna Atkins (neé Children) (1799–1871). At least one of the novels, Murder Will Out, was clearly advertised under the name "Mrs. Atkyns." It is unlikely Atkins wrote these novels.
