Dorothy Kathleen Broster (1877-1950) was a British novelist, author of the Jacobite Trilogy featuring, as its hero, the dashing Ewan Cameron. Educated at Cheltenham Ladies' College and St. Hilda's College, Oxford (where she was one of the first students), she worked as a secretary to senior civil servants and served as a Red Cross nurse during World War I. She produced her best-seller, The Flight of the Heron, in 1925, and followed it up with two successful sequels.
