Emily Nonnen

Emily Nonnen (22 February 1812, London, Great Britain — 19 January 1905, Gothenburg, Sweden) was a British-Swedish writer, translator and artist.

She was the sister of Mary, Charlotte, Ann and Edward Nonnen. She moved to her maternal uncle in Sweden from Great Britain as a child. She wrote novels for young adults and translated English literature to Swedish, among them Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. She also translated Swedish-language poets’ work into English.

The Nonnensgatan (Nonnenstreet) in Bö in Gothenburg was named after the Nonnen sisters in 1944.
