Madeleine Angela Polland (31 May 1918 – 2005) was a prolific Irish children's author.

Life and career

Born Madeleine Angela Cahill in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland on 31 May 1918, her father moved the family to England while she was still in school. She attended Hitchin Girls' Grammar School in Hertfordshire from 1929 to 1937. She went on to work as an assistant librarian in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, from 1939 until 1942 and again from 1945 to 1946. In the Second World War she worked for the Women's Auxiliary Air Force at a radar installation (1942–1945).

In 1946, she married Arthur Joseph Polland. They had two children. Polland also wrote under the name Frances Adrian. She lived in later years in Malaga, Spain. Pollard wrote historical fiction which spanned multiple countries. She travelled to many of the locations herself.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
