Anne Douglas Sedgwick was an American-born British novelist. She was born in Englewood, New Jersey, to George Stanley Sedgwick, a businessman, and Mary (Douglas) Sedgwick. Her family relocated to London when she was nine years old. She spent the rest of her life in England, although returning to the United States on several occasions. In 1908, she married Basil de Selincourt, a British essayist and journalist. During World War I, she and her husband worked as volunteers in French hospitals and orphanages. Her works examined the differences in values between Americans and Europeans. Her best-selling novel Tante was adapted into a 1919 film, The Impossible Woman, and The Little French Girl into a 1925 film with the same title. She was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in the United States in 1931. The New York Times ranked four of her books as the best-selling novels in the United States in 1912, 1924, 1927, and 1929, respectively. Sedgwick died in Hampstead, England, in 1935.
