{{Use dmy dates|date=December 2015}}{{Use British English|date=December 2015}}{{Redirect|Esmè Stuart|the Dukes of Lennox|Esmé Stuart (disambiguation){{!}}Esmé Stuart}}Amélie Claire Leroy (1851–1934) was an English writer, who wrote over 60 works often using the pseudonym Esmè Stuart.[1]

Life

Leroy lived for a while with the novelist Anna Rachel Bramston (Witham 1848/9–1931) and they adopted a daughter called Juliette.[2]

Literature

Leroy wrote seven dozen novels, many of them aimed at young women, in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. One of her best known series, the Harum Scarum novels, features the wild Australian schoolgirl Antonia "Toney" Whitburn, forced to live with her aristocratic aunt and uncle in England.
