Clemence Dane's real name was Winifred Ashton. She was born in London in 1888. At the age of 16 she went to Geneva to teach French. Later she studied art at the Slade School and in Dresden, taught again in Ireland, and then went on the stage, where for five years she acted under the name "Diana Curtis." She borrowed her nom de plume from the church of St. Clement Danes. Her first book, published in 1917, was the famous *Regiment of Women*. She followed it with *Legend*, which became a very successful play. Her later novels include *Wandering Star*, *He Brings Great News* and *The Flower Girls*.
