Annie G. Savigny

Annie Gregg Savigny (née Ryan, c. 1838–1901) was a Toronto novelist, probably born in England, who turned to fiction after the 1881 death of her husband, the surveyor Hugh Paine Savigny. A Heart-Song of To-day (1886) was her first novel, followed by A Romance of Toronto (1888) and Three Wedding Rings (1892). She was also an active amateur astronomer, presenting papers on Mars and on the Lowell Observatory's planetary observations to Toronto's Astronomical and Physical Society, and a benefactor of the Toronto Humane Society. She died in Toronto on 10 July 1901.
