Allen Raine


Born
in Newcastle Emlyn, Wales, The United Kingdom
October 06, 1836

Died
June 21, 1908

Genre


Allen Raine, the pen name of Anne Adaliza Puddicombe, was one of the best-selling authors of the late Victorian/early Edwardian age.

She spent time in London for her education and marriage, but eventually returned to her Welsh roots. Wales features largely in her romantic fiction, with titles like A Welsh Singer (1896) and A Welsh Witch (1902).

Her books sold millions of copies, not only across Wales but in the whole of Britain, and yet these days she is largely forgotten or ignored.

“The sky was flecked with fleecy clouds, with here and there one of heavy grey, its edges glistening with a silver radiance, never yet caught by mortal brush.”
Allen Raine, A Welsh Witch

“All the sweet sounds of night fell on her ears, the grey slopes shimmered in the faint moonlight . . . The scene, the sounds, were all familiar to her, but unconsciously they awoke in her that satisfying delight, for which she had no words, and which only those who have lived alone with nature can understand.”
Allen Raine, A Welsh Witch
