Autorenporträt

Bessie Marchant was a prolific English writer of adventure stories with young female heroines. She published the majority of her work as Bessie Marchant, but occasionally as Bessie Marchant Comfort or Mrs J.A. Comfort. She has also been credited with writing a few books for boys under the pen name John Comfort. Marchant was born at Debden Court Farm in Petham. At the age of 27, she married Baptist minister Jabez Ambrose Comfort, who was 28 years her senior. Her daughter Constance was born in 1891 in Hitchin, where her husband ran a school. Despite never leaving England, she authored nearly 150 novels set in various locations across the world. Her first novels, such as Broken Barriers and Under Clear Skies, were basic romances set in an evangelical Christian milieu, typically Primitive Methodism, in England. All of her inherent heroism was rising to meet the need. She would not allow herself to wonder what her family would say if they saw her now; she would not even consider what might happen to her before she could get out of this strange situation, but would content herself with living only for the present hour, and doing her best to meet each need as it arose."
