Bio:
Henrietta Keddie was born at Cupar, Fife, Scotland on 4 March 1827 to lawyer Philip Keddie and Mary Gibb. She was educated primarily by an older sister.
Keddie began writing during the 1850's, but her first two novels did not sell. Her first published work, "Meg of Elibank" appeared in Fraser's Magazine in 1856. Several of her works were published in various periodicals of the time.
In London, Henrietta became familiar with many popular writers of the time, including Margaret Oliphant, Dinah Craik, Mrs. Henry Wood and Isabella Bird.
Henrietta always wrote under the pseudonym "Sarah Tytler". She was an exponent of domestic realism and also set many of her stories in the 18th century.
Henrietta died in 1914.
