Barbara Cartland, the incredibly energetic British author, lived 98 years and wrote 723 novels, thus becoming the most productive author of the 20th century. With the colour pink as her trademark, she charmed and intrigued the public with details of her private life up until her death in 2000.
All her life she looked at the world through rose-tinted glasses, whule her chaste heroines spread a powerful message of morals and the idea that love inevitably always prevails. Her stories are mostly set in the romantic Victorian age, while the array of romantic plots with happy endings has attracted female readers from around the world.
