Almedingen (born Marta Aleksandrovna Almedingen, also known as Martha Edith Almedingen or von Almedingen) (1898 1971) was a British novelist, biographer and children's author. In September 1922 she managed to get permission to leave the country and went to England, where she became a well-known children's author. In 1941 she won the $5, 000 Atlantic Monthly nonfiction prize for Tomorrow Will Come. Born and privately educated in St. Petersburg (now Leningrad), Russian, she arrived in London in 1923 with sixpence in her pocket and has been supporting herself with her writing ever since. Now a British citizen, Miss Almedingen has been elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, has lectured at Oxford, and is a noted scholar and writer."
