Mazo de la Roche

Mazo de la Roche (1879-1961), born in Newmarket, Ontario, grew up in a family that often moved, and from childhood built an imaginary world with her cousin Caroline Clement, taken in by her parents, which the two would keep up together; Caroline remained her collaborator, and Mazo dictated her texts to her. After years on rented farms, she lived in England from the end of the 1920s until 1939. She kept her own life shrouded in secrecy, even falsifying her date of birth. She died in Toronto.
