{{Use dmy dates|date=December 2015}}{{Use British English|date=December 2015}}Marion St John Adcock Webb (5 December 1888 – 2 May 1930)[1] was an English writer of novels and poetry for children that presaged A. A. Milne, with her character "The Littlest One".[2]

Life

She was born in Hampstead on 5 December 1888, the daughter of the poet Arthur St John Adcock and Marlon Louise Taylor.[3] She grew up at 42 Paddington Street and was admitted to St Marylebone School in Marylebone in January 1894, having just turned 5 years old.[4]

Webb wrote poems for a series of fairy books illustrated by Margaret Tarrant,[5] with whom she worked on around 20 books.[6] The treatment of childhood by Tarrant and Webb is now regarded as sentimentalised, typical of its time.[7] She had no children of her own,[8] She died 2 May 1930 in London.[9]
