About the author
Born Katharine Sarah Thomas in 1824, she became known as Katharine S. Macquoid after marrying the illustrator Thomas Robert Macquoid. She began publishing fiction in magazines in the 1850s and went on to build a remarkably busy literary career that lasted for decades.
Macquoid wrote more than 65 works, including novels, short fiction, and travel books. She is especially remembered for her travel writing, often created in collaboration with her husband, whose illustrations accompanied her descriptions of French regions and other European landscapes.
She was also the mother of Percy Macquoid, who became a well-known artist and writer in his own right. Macquoid died in 1917, leaving behind a large and varied body of work that offers a vivid glimpse of Victorian reading tastes and nineteenth-century travel.
