About the author
Born in Ratibor in Upper Silesia on August 18, 1854, Anna Eufemia Carolina Gräfin von Adlersfeld-Ballestrem was a German novelist from an aristocratic family. She published under her own name at a time when many women writers still used pseudonyms, and she went on to build a long literary career.
She became known for popular fiction, including novels, novellas, and humorous writing. Her bibliography includes works such as Lady Melusine and The White Roses of Ravensberg, and some of her stories later reached the screen through silent-film adaptations.
She died in Munich on April 26, 1941. Though not as widely read today, she was an established and successful author in her own era, remembered as one of the notable German women writers of her generation.
