Autorenporträt

George de Horne Vaizey, born Jessie Bell in Liverpool, was a prolific British author known for her engaging narratives and strong female characters. The daughter of Scottish insurance broker David Bell and Elizabeth Morris Barton, she grew up with six siblings. After marrying cotton broker Henry Mansergh in 1883, she published works under the name ""Jessie Mansergh."" Following Mansergh's death in 1894, Vaizey began writing for magazines, gaining recognition for her stories. In 1898, she married George de Horne Vaizey, whom she met during a cruise won through a writing competition. Her son, George Vaizey, born in 1900, also became a writer. Despite health challenges, including rheumatoid arthritis after contracting typhoid, she continued to write until her death in 1917. Among her notable works are ""A Rose Coloured Thread"" (1898), ""About Peggy Saville"" (1900), ""Sisters Three"" (1900), ""More About Peggy"" (1901), and ""An Unknown Lover,"" which explore themes of love, ambition, and social dynamics.
