Short biography
Eleanor Alice Burford was born in London. Her father, Joseph Burford, was an odd-job man with no steady profession, but he passed on his great love of books to his daughter. She was an avid reader from the age of four onwards. In her early twenties, she married a leather merchant, George Percival Hibbert, who shared her love of books and reading. She was one of the preeminent English authors of historical fiction for most of the 20th century. She used 8 different pen names during her career and many of her readers never suspected her other identities.
