Emily Underdown
Emily Underdown (1863–1947) was an English writer, novelist and poet. She is best known for popularising Dante (1265–1321) and for her children’s books. Many of her works are written under the pseudonym Norley Chester, which name appears to have been taken from the village of Norley, Cheshire, near the town of Chester.〔Adrian Room, ''Dictionary of Pseudonyms: 13,000 Assumed Names and Their Origins''. McFarland & Co Inc; 5th revised edition, 2010.〕 The use of pseudonyms was common with female writers of the time. She also illustrated the book ''The Pageant of The Year: A Garden Record In Verse''.
