Mayne Lindsay

Rosina Margaret Hopkins Clarke (1873 – 3 May 1955) was a British author who used the pseudonym Mayne Lindsay.

Rosina Margaret Hopkins was born on 1873 in London, the daughter of David Hopkins, a British consul serving in Africa. In her early life she spent three years in India, where her brother was a judge, and a year on a sheep farm in Australia. She married Sir Arthur Wellesley Clarke , a naval captain, in 1897 and they had two children. Of her pseudonym, she said "I have enjoyed the shelter of a pen-name against myself, and I have liked to fancy that by its help 'Mayne Lindsay' might be enabled to do things I was sure the familiar 'I' could never accomplish."

Mayne Lindsay died on 3 May 1955 at a nursing home in Hindhead.
