About the author
Born Pamela Adelaide Genevieve Wyndham in 1871, she became known later as Pamela, Viscountess Grey of Fallodon. She was an English writer and a member of the celebrated Wyndham family, a circle closely connected with British political and cultural life.
She was first married to Edward Tennant, Baron Glenconner, and later to Edward Grey, the statesman who became Viscount Grey of Fallodon. Alongside her sisters, she was part of a famous social world remembered for bringing together artists, writers, and political figures, and she was notably painted by John Singer Sargent.
Her published work shows a wide literary range. Books associated with her include The White Wallet, The Book of Peace, and Windlestraw, suggesting an author interested in aphorisms, verse, and thoughtful literary compilation as much as in society life.
