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.
D.E. Stevenson became a published novelist in 1923 with the novel Peter West. Her final novel prior to her death was The House of the Deer, but in 2011, two new unpublished novels finally saw publication. Below is a list of D.E. Stevenson’s books in order of when they were originally released:
