An Englishwoman's adventures in the German lines

About the author
Ann Gladys Lloyd was an early-20th-century author whose surviving bibliography suggests a notably wide range. Library and catalog records confirm that she was born in 1889, and they link her to books including Mother Goose Dramatized (1923), Graduation Days (1926), The Children's Indian Book of Verse, Songs and Adaptations (1926), and Puzzles for Parties (1935).
She is best known today for An Englishwoman's Adventures in the German Lines, a World War I narrative that has remained discoverable through modern reprints and Project Gutenberg. That book gives her profile a striking contrast: alongside light, practical, and performance-friendly titles for young readers and social occasions, she also left behind a tense account shaped by wartime experience.
Reliable biographical details about her life beyond these publications are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember her as a versatile writer whose books touched both entertainment and lived history.
