Meer over het boek

Charlotte Mary Yonge, a prolific English novelist, was deeply influenced by her Anglo-Catholic faith and the Oxford Movement. Her first major success, The Heir of Redclyffe, not only marked her literary career but also funded charitable endeavors, including the Southern Cross schooner. Over her lifetime, she published around 100 works, primarily novels, while also serving as the long-time editor of the Monthly Packet, a magazine aimed at British Anglican girls. Her writings reflect her devotion to her faith and social concerns of her time.
