Sara Jeannette Duncan (1861 - 1922)

Sara Jeannette Duncan (22 December 1861 – 22 July 1922) was a Canadian author and journalist. She was called Sara Jeannette Cotes after her marriage to Everard Cotes M.A., of the Indian Civil Service, in Calcutta, but is most often referred to by her maiden name (although a number of her texts were published with "Mrs. Everard Cotes" embossed on the covers). She wrote 22 works of fiction, many with international themes and settings. Her novels met with mixed acclaim and are rarely read today.
