D.E. Stevenson (1892-1973) was a Scottish author of light romance novels. She wrote the Mrs. Tim series, the Miss Buncle series and several other mini-series, which are often linked together. Stevenson’s father was a lighthouse engineer named David Alan Stevenson, who was a first cousin to Robert Louis Stevenson. D.E. Stevenson was born in Edinburgh and was home-schooled. Although she started to write at age 8, her parents disapproved, so she had to write in secret. When Stevenson was older, she wanted to enroll in university, but her father refused. She married a captain in the 6th Ghurkha Rifles in 1916.
