Marie Belloc Lowndes (1868-1947) was writer and one-time MP Hilaire Belloc’s sister. She wrote from 1898 until her death, and had a literary reputation for combining exciting incidents with psychological interest. Four of her works were adapted for the screen: The Chink in the Armour (1912; adapted 1922), The Lodger (1913; adapted several times), Letty Lynton (1931; adapted 1932), and The Story of Ivy (1927; adapted 1947). This is the second volume of her autobiography.
