Autor

Sara Jeannette Duncan was a Canadian author and reporter who lived from December 22, 1861, to July 22, 1922. She wrote under many names, including Mrs. Everard Cotes and Garth Grafton. She started out as a teacher in a regular school, but she soon became interested in poetry. After a short time teaching, she worked as a trip writer for Canadian newspapers and a columnist for the Toronto Globe. She then went to work as a writer for the Washington Post and was given charge of the writing area. After that, she went to India and married an Anglo-Indian government servant. After that, she split her time between England and India. She wrote 22 fiction books, and many of them were set or had topics that were international. Her books got mixed reviews, and not many people read them these days. Because the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada said so, she was named a National Historic Person in 2016. She was born Sarah Janet Duncan on December 22, 1861, at 96 West Street, Brantford, Canada West (now Ontario). Her parents were Charles Duncan, a wealthy Scottish immigrant who worked as a dry goods and furniture dealer, and Jane (née Bell), who was born in Canada and was of Irish descent.
