About the author

Very little biographical information about Sophie Fisher appears to be readily available in reliable online sources, which makes her one of those authors known more through the work than through a detailed public life story.

What can be confirmed is that she wrote The Imprudence of Prue, published in 1911 by Bobbs-Merrill. The novel has remained accessible through archival and public-domain collections, including Project Gutenberg, and is often described as a lively historical romance following Lady Prudence Brooke through society, danger, and love.

Because dependable sources on her life are scarce, it is safest to view Sophie Fisher as a largely obscure novelist of the early 1900s whose reputation now rests on this surviving book rather than on a well-recorded personal biography.
