Cecilia Anne Jones (1832 – March 19, 1891) was a British writer.

Cecilia Anne Jones was born on 1832 in Saint Helier, Jersey. She was the daughter of George Matthew Jones (1805-1861), surgeon at Jersey General Hospital,[1] and Jane Mary Rogers Jones.[2]

Jones wrote dozens of works of fiction and religious non-fiction for children. Her Little Sir Nicholas (1890) was adapted into a 6 episode television series for BBC1 in 1990 starring Max Beazley as the young Nicholas Tremaine who is lost in a shipwreck and must reclaim his title and estate after he is presumed dead.[3]

Cecilia Anne Jones died on 19 March 1891 in Bow, Devon, after falling from a train. An inquest found that she was epileptic and suffered a seizure which caused the fall.[2]
