About the author
Born in London in 1867, Flora Klickmann was an English journalist, author, and editor. She became the second editor of Girl’s Own Paper, and her writing career ranged widely across fiction, domestic advice, needlework, and nature writing.
She is most closely associated with the Flower-Patch series, books inspired by her experiences in the Wye Valley near Brockweir. Those volumes, published across several decades, made her especially popular for their mix of anecdote, autobiography, and close observation of everyday country life.
Klickmann remained a prolific writer beyond that famous series, producing or editing many other works for general readers. She died in 1958, but her books still appeal to listeners who enjoy calm, companionable writing with a strong sense of place.
