Lucy Ellen Guernsey (1826–1899) was a 19th-century American author best known for her contributions to historical fiction and children's literature. A prolific writer, Guernsey often centered her stories around themes of morality, faith, and perseverance, weaving these into richly detailed historical settings. One of her notable works, *Guy Falconer, or, The Chronicles of the Old Moat House* (1867), exemplifies her skill in combining adventure with moral instruction, a common hallmark of her writing.
