Page history last edited by Jon 11 years, 8 months ago

Patricia WentworthPatricia Wentworth was the pseudonym of Doris Amy Elles Dillon Turnbull (1878-1961). She was born in India and educated in England. On her return to India she published her first work and married Lieutenant Colonel George Dillon. On his death in 1906 she returned to England with a daughter and three stepsons. In 1920 she married Lieutenant Colonel George Turnbull, who helped with her writing.

 

After writing historical fiction, she moved to mysteries in 1923, and invented Miss Silver -- an ex-governess who became a private investigator to supplement her retirement income -- in 1928. After 1945 all her books featured Miss Silver.
