About the author
Caris Brooke was the pen name of Saretta (or Sarah) Green, an English poet born in 1844 and deceased in 1899. Reliable reference sources identify her as a Victorian poet and note that she also published as C. Brooke.
She was born in Sandhurst, Berkshire, and later married John Deakin in 1875, after which she moved to Manchester. She contributed poems to periodicals including Good Words, with work appearing in the 1870s.
Brooke is closely linked with Edith Nesbit, her half-sister, with whom she published poetry, including Easter-Tide: Poems and All Round the Year. A clear, verifiable portrait could not be confirmed from the sources reviewed, so no profile image is included.
