About a quarter of a century ago, under a bright May morning sun, the English Channel Squadron steamed into the harbour of the French town of Harbourg, with flags half-mast high. The Captain of one of the vessels had lost his young wife that morning.

Autorenporträt
Florence Warden was an English actress and writer who published numerous novels under her stage name. Her real name was Florence Alice Price, and her marital name was Mrs G.E. James. Warden began her life as Florence Alice Price, the daughter of a stockbroker. She was born in Hanworth, Middlesex, and educated in both Brighton and France. In 1877, her debut novel, The Wolf at the Door, was published anonymously in Boston, Massachusetts. Warden worked as an actress between 1880 and 1885, and she also published stories and novels under her stage persona. In 1885, her mystery novel The House on the Marsh (1884) was adapted into a play in which she played the lead. Warden married an actor named George Edward James in 1887 in St Pancras. She continued to create novels, but she abandoned her acting profession. One of her sisters also became a writer, going by the name Gertrude Warden. Warden and her husband had two sons, Godfrey Warden James, born in St Pancras in 1888, and Rupert Warden, born in Ramsgate in 1893; and two daughters, Leslie Gertrude, born in London in 1890, and Olivia Mary, born in Ramsgate, Kent, in 1891. Warden's son, Godfrey Warden James (1888-1963), was educated at Oxford, qualified as a barrister, served as a schoolmaster and tutor, and as an Administrative Officer in Sierre Leone. He was also a novelist under the name Adam Broome.
