Alice Askew (18 June

wrote "over ninety novels, many published in sixpenny and sevenpenny

series, between 1904 and 1918". Alice was born on 18 June 1874

at No. 3 Westbourne Street,

near Hyde Park in London,

England; and christened Alice Jane de Courcy on 5 August 1874

at the church of St. Michael and All Angels[6] in Paddington, London. She was the eldest

daughter of Jane Leake, née Dashwood (1844–1912) and Lt-Col. Henry Leake

(1829–1899). At the time of her birth he was a Captain, on half pay, late
