  • Trivia
    Started writing during during her husband's wartime absence and in 1919 published her most famous novel, "The Sheik", which was subsequently filmed (The Sheik (1922)) with Rudolph Valentino. Her predilection for desert romances may have been the result of childhood travels in Algeria.
