Autor

Under the pen name Sarah Tytler, Henrietta Keddie (1827-1914), a prolific Scottish novelist, published many works. Her writings for girls on proper behavior and her home realism both gained popularity with women. Henrietta Keddie was born on March 4, 1827, in Cupar, Fife, to Philip Keddie (1793/4-1852), a lawyer, and Mary Keddie, who was his wife and who was born Gibb. Her father had a coal mine at Grange Farm, outside of Elie and Earlsferry, where she spent her summers as a child. After being educated by her older sister Margaret, she briefly attended school in Leith. Although "Grange Collieries" operated in some capacity up until the early 1860s, the family split apart in the 1840s. Henrietta founded a school in Cupar in 1848 along with her three sisters. She and Margaret relocated to Blackheath, London, and subsequently to Kensington in 1869, following the deaths of her parents and most of her siblings. Henrietta was left on her own after Margaret passed away in 1880. In 1884, she embarked on a European vacation with friends and an adopted daughter. She then lived in Oxford for 20 years and Bristol for 2 before returning to London, where she died on January 6, 1914, in Belsize Park Gardens.
