About the Author

Ouida (1839-1908), born Maria Louise Ramé, was a prolific English writer of novels for adults and children.  A self-proclaimed “serious artist,” her works combine social commentary with swashbuckling adventure plots that often veer into melodrama.  After a life as extravagant as her fiction, she died in poverty in Italy.
