VG. ** "Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna (1 October 1790 – 12 July 1846) was a popular Victorian English writer and novelist who wrote under the pseudonym Charlotte Elizabeth. Born on 1 October 1790, Charlotte was the daughter of Reverend Michael Browne, rector of St. Giles's Church and minor canon of Norwich Cathedral. In 1813 she married Captain George Phelan of the 60th regiment, and spent two years with him while he served with his regiment in Nova Scotia (1817–1819).[8] They then returned to Ireland, where Phelan owned a small estate near Kilkenny. The marriage was not a happy one, and it was reported that Captain Phelan was addicted to "gross intemperance" and personally abused Charlotte during their marriage. She was very patient towards him and refused to seek help from her friends, but as the abuse continued she was forced to separate from him in 1824. Charlotte was aware that her marital troubles could be interpreted many ways so, to keep her privacy, "Tonna made her friends and acquaintances promise that in the event of her death they would destroy all her letters and other correspondence". Her pen name "Charlotte Elizabeth" was a tactic she used to protect her writing earnings from Captain Phelan when they were married. In 1837 Captain Phelan died in Dublin. In 1841, Charlotte married Lewis Hippolytus Joseph Tonna. Her second marriage to Tonna was a much happier one, he being an "excellent husband" who was very active in London society. Also a Protestant writer, he wrote a memoir entitled The Life of Charlotte Elizabeth in 1869 to celebrate his late wife's life. Due to her popularity, her works were translated into many diverse languages such as "French, Italian, Marathi, and the Mpongwe language of Gabon in West Africa." In 1845, the Christian Examiner praised her work and declared that Tonna had "secured an unhesitating reception amongst most of those called Evangelical Christians." Her legacy endures as a highly respected writer in the Evangelical Protestant community." - See Wikipedia.

Valentine and Aunt Louisa; 1814–1899), was an Victorian English writer primarily known for her children literature. Her work was often produced in children series including Aunt Louisa's Toy Books, Aunt Louisa’s Big Picture Series, and The Young Folk's Shakespeare Series. Her literature often was educational, told of travel, or described the London scene. As an adult novelist, Laura Valentine specialized in florid historical romance. Her main novels were Kirkholme Priory (1847), The Vassal (1850), and the Cup and the Lip (1851). Laura Valentine expressed an expertise in Shakespeare, editing "The Works of William Shakespeare” and creating a number of children's versions of Shakespeare plays including The Merchant of Venice and The Tempest. Professionally, Laura Valentine was one of the chief editors of Frederick Warne & Co and the sole editor of Girl's Home Book and The Chandos Classics. Most of Laura Valentine's work was published through Frederick Warne & Co and T. C. Newby. Laura Valentine's full maiden name was Laura Belinda Charlotte Jewry after her father Admiral Jewry who served in the English navy. She was born at the Victory in England but at an early age connected with the Lord Elphinstone family. She spent her maiden life in India till she married Reverend Richard Valentine, a clergyman of the Church of England. However within 12 months of their marriage, she was widowed. Laura Valentine died at the age of 84 still an active writer. She was survived only by her sister Mary Jewry for five or six years." - See Wikipedia.
