ELODIE LAWTON MIJATOVIC (1825-1908) was a British author who translated Serbian works into English, wrote several English-language histories on Serbia, and translated national Serbian songs about the Battle of Kossovo into one Ballad, which she dedicated to Her Highness Nathalie, Princess of Serbia.
