CHARLOTTE MARIA TUCKER (1821–1883) was born in Barnet, England. Her father, Henry St. George Tucker, was chairman of the East India Company. Charlotte had many talents in music, drawing, writing and acting, but she was educated at home. Her earliest story is “The Claremont Tales,” which illustrates the Beatitudes and teaches the character of true Christianity. Her pen name became A.L.O.E. (A Lady of England). Her brothers moved to India, but she lived at No. 3 Upper Portland Place, her childhood home, for 49 years. She assisted her mother until her mother died in 1869. Financially successful and not having a parent to care for, she went to live with a brother and took up the study of Hindustani.  In 1875, she traveled to India and stayed for 18 years and carried on missionary work until her death. She wrote many children’s books and stories.
