Frederick William Naylor Bayley (1808–1853) was an English writer. In 1825 accompanied his father to Barbados, and remained in the West Indies for four years. On return to England in 1829, he found that he was able to write in verse with considerable skills. He conducted a publication called the Omnibus, and was the first editor of the Illustrated London News (established in 1842). He also produced 'An Island (Grenada) Bagatelle,' 1829; 'Four Years in the West Indies,' 1830; verses written for 'Six Sketches of Taglioni,' 1831; 'Tales of the late Revolution,' 1831; 'Scenes and Stories by a Clergyman in Debt,' 3 vols. 1835; 'New Tale of a Tub,' 1841 and 1847; 'Blue Beard,' 1842; 'Little Red Riding Hood,' 1843; an edition of the Works of Mrs. Sigourney, 1850; a contribution to the 'Little Folks' Laughing Library,' 1851; verses in 'Gems for the Drawing-room,' 1852; verses in Paul Jerrard's Humming Bird Keepsake, 1852. Bayley was constantly in various troubles. He died of bronchitis in 1853.
