Susanna Mary Paull (1812–1888) was a British author and translator who published under the name Mrs. H. B. Paull . She is known for her English translations of the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen and the book Swiss Family Robinson .
Susanna Mary Peakome was born in 1812 in London, the daughter of saddler William Peakome. In 1938, she married Henry Hugh Beams Paull, an Oxford -educated clergyman. Upon the loss of his voice, his wife was forced to a career in writing to support the couple, publishing dozens of religious and children's books.[ 1] [ 2]
Her translations of Andersen's fairy tales have been among the most popular and widely published.[ 3] Around 1900, one publisher had twelve separate editions of Paull's translations in print.[ 4] Her translation was the first in English of the version of Swiss Family Robinson expanded by Isabelle de Montolieu .[ 5]
