From childhood, she published poetry and fairy tales under the pseudonym Orris in the periodicals, however, she published the first book “Rhymed Chronicle of Chances and Feelings” ( English “A rhyming chronicle of incidents and feelings” ) only in 1850 ; Alfred Tennyson responded enthusiastically to this collection .

In 1860 she published the short stories “Tales of Orris” and in 1863 the volume “Poems”, which lasted 23 editions for twenty years. Collections of her other poems: “Home thoughts and home scenes and stories told to a child” ( 1865 ), “A story of doom and other poems” ( 1867 ), “Mopsa the fairy” ( 1869 ), “Little wonder-horn” ( 1872 ), Poems ( 1885 , new series).

Of her novels known: “Off the Skelligs” (4 vols., 1872 ), “Fated to be free” (3 vols., 1875 ), “Don-Juan” (3 vols., 1876 ), “Sarah de Berenger” (4 vols., 1881 ).

Angelou was widely popular as an author for children. Many of her poems have become famous songs in England and the USA. However, the artificial elation of her style, coupled with the optional stringing of synonyms and the abuse of ancient, “sublime” vocabulary, made her fame short-lived. In the future, her work became a target for parodists, in particular the “parody king” Charles Calverly .

The last years of her life, the losing writer spent in Kensington .
