Autorenporträt
Amy Clarke, known by her pen name Mrs. Henry Clarke, was born on April 17, 1853, in Plymouth, England. She was the daughter of Joseph Henry Key and Elizabeth Hosking. Clarke demonstrated her literary talent early, publishing a story at the age of 16 in Good Words magazine. She later excelled academically, obtaining a first in the Cambridge Examination and then working as a teacher at Plymouth High School for Girls. She took a brief leave to study mathematics at Newnham College, Cambridge, before becoming the first headmistress of Truro High School for Girls in 1880. Clarke continued her education at London University, earning an external MA, and met Henry Clarke, a lecturer, whom she married in 1889. They had four children, and after her marriage, she reduced her teaching duties, focusing more on writing. She wrote historical fiction and children's books, including titles such as A Clever Daughter and A Lad of Devon. Mrs. Henry Clarke passed away from cancer on March 4, 1908. Her contributions to literature, particularly in children's stories and historical fiction, continue to be remembered.
