Catherine Ann Turner Dorset (1750/51–1817/18) was an English poet and writer, renowned primarily for her contributions to children’s literature in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Dorset penned ‘The Lion’s Masquerade’, a whimsical narrative designed for the amusement and instruction of young minds. The work falls into the genre of instructional animal fable, a style that was quite popular during that era, which often aimed to impart moral lessons through anthropomorphic characters. Dorset’s style combines elements of playful rhymes and didacticism, making her literature entertaining as well as educational for its young audience. Although not as widely recognized as her contemporaries in the realm of children’s literature, Dorset’s ‘The Lion’s Masquerade’ has earned a place as a charming example of Georgian-era children’s verse.

Dorset’s contributions, though limited in number, provide valuable insights into the early development of children’s literature as a distinct genre.
