Mary Elizabeth Braddon was a British famous writer of the Victorian times. She is highly recognized for her 1862 awe-inspiring novella Lady Audley’s Secret.

Mary Elizabeth was born in London and privately tutored. Her mother Fanny disunited from her father Henry, when Mary was only 5 years old. At the age of 10, her sibling Edward Braddon departed for India and then Australia, where he was Premier of Tasmania. She performed as an actress for 3 years when she was made friends with Clara and Adelaide Biddle. They were just performing inferior stints yet Mary could provide for herself and her mother. Adelaide commented that Mary’s fascination in dramatizing drew to a close as she focused on her literary career.
