A Lady of England


Book Description

Tucker (1821-93), who wrote under the pseudonym A.L.O.E. (A Lady of England), was a prolific writer and poet for children and adults whose work was imbued with her Evangelical religious beliefs. In 1875, aged 54, she set out for India having taught herself Hindustani to serve as a volunteer missionary, remaining there until her death in 1893. This biography by fellow writer on moral and religious themes, Agnes Giberne (1845-1939), which draws heavily on Tucker's numerous letters home during her time in India, was first published in 1895 and is illustrated with five photographs.
