Philippa Carr


Born
in Canning Town, London, England, The United Kingdom
September 01, 1906

Died
January 19, 1993

Genre


Eleanor Alice Burford, Mrs. George Percival Hibbert was a British author of about 200 historical novels, most of them under the pen name Jean Plaidy which had sold 14 million copies by the time of her death. She chose to use various names because of the differences in subject matter between her books; the best-known, apart from Plaidy, are Victoria Holt (56 million) and Philippa Carr (3 million). Lesser known were the novels Hibbert published under her maiden name Eleanor Burford, or the pseudonyms of Elbur Ford, Kathleen Kellow, Anna Percival and Ellalice Tate. Many of her readers under one penname never suspected her other identities.

“There is a little good in the worst of us and a little bad in the best of us and it ill behoves any of us to criticize the rest of us.”
Philippa Carr, The Adulteress

“I want this party.”
Philippa Carr, The Return of the Gypsy

“He was a forceful man, distinguished in appearance; his entire being emanated power. Ambition had been the driving force of his life. There was a ruthless streak in his nature and a recklessness which at times had led him into dangerous situations. Such men rarely pass through life untouched by scandal. I sometimes wondered whether my mother, if she had lived, would have managed to subdue that side of his nature.”
Philippa Carr, The Black Swan
