About the author

Writing as LM, Ida Constance Baker published fiction under the name Leslie Moore. Project Gutenberg identifies LM as an alias of Baker and lists novels including Antony Gray,—Gardener, Aunt Olive in Bohemia, The Jester, The Wiser Folly, and The Peacock Feather: A Romance.

Oxford Reference notes that Leslie Moore published sixteen volumes of fiction, including children's books as well as light, whimsical novels. The surviving books suggest a writer drawn to lively plots, romance, and gently eccentric situations, with work appearing in the 1910s and later preserved through public-domain editions.

Baker is also known for Katherine Mansfield; the memories of LM, published in 1972, which reflects her long personal connection with Mansfield. Reliable image results for this author were not clearly available from a suitable Wikipedia portrait source, so no profile image is included.
