Aunt Anne
Lucy Clifford (1846-1929), better known as Mrs. W. K. Clifford, was a British novelist and journalist. She married the mathematician and philosopher William Kingdon Clifford in 1875.

Clifford wrote cinematic adaptations of her short stories and plays. Amongst her other works are Aunt Anne (1892), A Flash of Summer: The Story of a Simple Woman's Life (1895), The Likeness of Night (1901) and A Woman Alone (1914).
