Grace Kennedy

This article is not about the twins Grace and Virginia Kennedy, known as Poto and Cabengo.

Grace Kennedy (1782–February 28, 1825) was a Scottish writer. She was born at Pinmore in Ayrshire, but at an early age moved to Edinburgh. She wrote novels of a religious tendency which were very popular in their day. By 1920, they were very little read. She is best known as the author of Father Clement (1823), an anti-Roman Catholic novel, which ran through some dozen editions and was translated into most of the languages of Europe. Other books of hers are:

• Anna Ross (1823)
• Dunallan (second edition, 1825)
• Jessy Allan (twelfth edition, 1853)
• Decision (1821)

A collection of her works in six volumes appeared at Edinburgh in 1827, and a German translation of them, Sämmtliche Werke, in Bielefeld in 1838 and another one in 1842.
