Flora Annie Steel

Flora Annie Steel (1847-1929) was an English writer. Born in Middlesex, she married Henry William Steel, a member of the Indian Civil Service, in 1867. Together they moved to India, where they lived for the next two decades. During her time in the Punjab, a region in the north of the Indian subcontinent, Steel developed a deep interest in the life of its native people. Befriending local women, she learned their language and collected folk tales—later published in Tales of the Punjab (1894)—while advocating for educational reform. After moving home to Scotland with her family in 1889, Steel began working on her novel On the Face of the Waters (1896) an influential work of historical fiction set during the Indian Mutiny of 1857.
