Barbara Cartland
1901-2000. Bestselling author of no less than 723 books, chiefly romantic novels. Her first novel, Jigsaw (1923), was described on the cover as "a vivid and moving story of the difficulties and temptations which confront a young girl on her first entry into the richest and gayest set of London society. The intoxication of her new freedom and her love of adventure lead her inevitably to exploit her wit and beauty to her own unhappiness, but by good luck and her own native goodness she finds peace and happiness at last" [1].
