Eleanor Alice Burford, Mrs. George Percival Hibbert was a British author of about 200 historical novels, most of them under the pen name [author:Jean Plaidy|6590] which had sold 14 million copies by the time of her death. She chose to use various names because of the differences in subject matter between her books; the best-known, apart from Plaidy, are [author:Victoria Holt|25092] (56 million) and [author:Philippa Carr|32] (3 million). Lesser known were the novels Hibbert published under her maiden name [author:Eleanor Burford|1411371], or the pseudonyms of [author:Elbur Ford|2931390], [author:Kathleen Kellow|2931417] and [author:Ellalice Tate|1002136]. Many of her readers under one penname never suspected her other identities.
