Donna Lee Harper
|
Donna Lee Harper was born in Bath, England. She moved to the United States and that's where she learned about Lillie Langtry who had been born on the Isle of Jersey, which is closer to France than England. Harper began her long career as a historian by reserching Lillie Langtry and was deeply impressed by the amount of travel the lady had done. Using her skills as a wrtier and historian, Donna Lee Harper wrote The Diary of Lillie Langry, weaving Lillie into the history of others of her era, each of whom was just as famous as Lillie. Donna Lee Harper moved back to England after scribing The Diary of Lillie Langtry for Arrowhead Classics. She autographed a supply of books for us before departing. She has since passed away.
