Agnes Giberne byla plodná anglická autorka, jejíž díla se často zabývala morálními či náboženskými tématy pro děti, ale také populárně naučnými knihami o astronomii. Její literární styl se vyznačoval didaktickým přístupem, který propojoval vzdělávací obsah s poutavým vyprávěním, čímž oslovovala mladé čtenáře. Giberne byla také amatérskou astronomkou, která se aktivně podílela na zakládání Britské astronomické asociace a svými ilustrovanými knihami, jako byla „Slunce, Měsíc a hvězdy“, přiblížila složitost vesmíru široké veřejnosti. Její psaní, především před rokem 1910, zanechalo významnou stopu v literatuře pro děti i v popularizaci vědy.
