About the author
Frederica J. Turle was a British author of juvenile fiction, born Frederica Jane Edith Turle on March 29, 1880. She grew up in Finchley, Middlesex, and wrote children's stories in the early twentieth century.
She is most closely associated with The Gap in the Fence (1914), a school-and-adventure story that helped keep her name in circulation with later reprints and digital editions. Reference sources also describe her as a writer of school stories and other fiction for younger readers.
Available source material on her life is fairly brief, but it records that she married Lieutenant Colonel Charles Bennett in 1912 and died on November 14, 1936. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so none is included here.
