About the author

Christine Jope-Slade was a British author and playwright born in London in 1891. Sources identify her more fully as Christine (or Christiana) Vernon Jope-Slade, and one bibliographic source notes that she was also known as Mrs. Clark.

She wrote popular fiction across the 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s, with titles including Letters to My Unborn Son, Love in a Muddle, The Keys of Heaven, The Cuckoo's Nest, Life Is Such a Rush, and Ice Cold Marriage. Her career also crossed into the theatre: she co-wrote the play Britannia of Billingsgate with Sewell Stokes, and that work later connected her to the 1933 film of the same name.

Film reference sources also credit her with writing work tied to Life's Darn Funny (1921), Britannia of Billingsgate (1933), and Forbidden Heaven (1935). She died in Claygate, Surrey, on May 1, 1942.
