Angela Ashford

Angela Ashford was a British writer remembered today mostly through Daisy Ashford: Her Book, a 1919 collection connected with the famously youthful novelist Daisy Ashford. In that volume, Angela Ashford is credited as the author of The Jealous Governes; or, The Granted Wish.

Because reliable biographical information about her is limited, much of what can be confirmed comes from bibliographic records rather than detailed life histories. Even so, her appearance in that collection suggests she was part of the same lively family circle that encouraged imaginative storytelling and helped keep the Ashford name in print.

Readers interested in Angela Ashford are usually discovering a lesser-known figure beside a much more famous literary relative. That makes her an intriguing presence: not widely documented, but still visible through the one story securely linked to her name.
