About the author
Elizabeth Emily Charlton was born in 1852 in Totteridge, England, the daughter of Congregational minister Rev. John M. Charlton. Her first piece appeared in a children’s magazine when she was eleven, an early start to a long writing career under the name Eglanton Thorne.
Charlton went on to write around fifty books, many published by the Religious Tract Society. Her works include The Old Worcester Jug, Beryl’s Triumph, A Sham Princess, and Maud Marian, Artist.
Raised in the West Country while her father taught at Western College, she spent most of her life in London, where she worked enthusiastically with a West London mission. She never married and died in Plymouth on September 17, 1907.
