She died at Exeter, Devon, on 29 April 1929 after 68 fruitful years. Her publishers included Revell in Chicago, Dodd Mead in New York, the Religious Tract Society in London, and Hodder and Stoughton in London and latterly the Lutterworth Press kept her works in print. She also wrote of family life, specialising in the outwardly naughty child, the odd one out, whose motives are consistently misunderstood by the adults. Her writing was typical of the new approach of the evangelical writers to the young reader and, like many of the writers of the period she was particularly fond of the "quaint" child, "old fashioned" with delicate health, a type modelled on Paul Dombey. She also wrote for magazines like 'Sunday at Home' and 'The Quiver'. She dedicated her life to writing and wrote many books and stories that are filled with Biblical principles and her popularity began in the 1890s and continued for over three decades. Her grandfather, James Mainguy, was a reverend in Guernsey. She grew up in a large family which employed a governess for the children's education.
Amelia Sophia Le Feuvre (1861-1929) was born in Blackheath, London, England in 1861.
