Excerpt from The Ward of the Crown, Vol. 2 of 3: A Historical Novel In the name of the saints what has happened exclaimed the trembling house keeper. Nothing yet, but there is much to dread he returned, and there is no time to be lost. So leave me to push in that bolt, and hasten to tell your mistress I must see her immediately.

Hannah Burdon was born in 1800. She was a daughter of the mineowner and political writer William Burdon.
In 1836 she published her first historical novel Seymour of Sudley. Or, the last of the Franciscans. After his death in 1850 she began writing social-problem novels beginning with Masters and Workmen (1851).
Her novels from this time onwards were written anonymously under the pseudonym "Lord B*******".
Because of this pseudonym, her later works were erroneously attributed to Frederick Richard Chichester, the Earl of Belfast. She died in 1877 in Rapperswil, Switzerland.
