OverviewL T Meade was the pseudonym of Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith (1844-1914), a prolific writer of stories for girls. She was born in Bandon, County Cork, Ireland, the daughter of Rev R T Meade, and later moved to London where she married Alfred Toulmin Smith in 1879. She began writing at 17 and produced over 300 books in her lifetime, primarily juvenile fiction, of which the most famous was A World of Girls (1886). Her output also included adult fiction in a variety of genres, some written with male co-authors, notably Robert Eustace with whom she created two female villains and the occult palmist and detective Diana Marburg. Meade was also the editor of popular girls' magazine Atalanta, and as a feminist was active in women's issues and a member of the Pioneer Club, one of London's most popular women's clubs in the late 19th century. The Manor School, first published in 1903, is another of Meade's popular school stories for girls recounting the trials and tribulations suffered by 13-year-old Christian Mitford when she is sent to boarding school while her parents travel abroad.
