Autorenporträt
O. Douglas was the pen name of Anna Buchan (1877-1948), a Scottish author whose literary work has garnered a warm reception for its depiction of domestic life and the nuances of everyday experiences. Born in Perth, Scotland, Anna was the sister of John Buchan, the 1st Baron Tweedsmuir and author of 'The Thirty-Nine Steps'. Venturing into writing under the pseudonym O. Douglas, Anna Buchan established her distinct voice in early twentieth-century literature. Her narratives often unfolded in the quaint towns of Scotland, woven with a fabric of warmth, wit, and keen observation. 'Olivia in India' is one of her notable works and is characterized by its informal and personal recounting of travel experiences, reflecting on the vibrancy and diversity of India with charm and insight. Much like her other novels, including 'The Setons' and 'Penny Plain', O. Douglas's literature is marked by a sense of sincerity and an undercurrent of gentle humor, appealing to readers who find solace and kinship in stories of life's quiet but significant moments. Douglas's legacy continues to be appreciated for its contribution to the landscape of Scottish literature and its portrayal of early 20th-century society.
