Шаблон:Short description Alice Elizabeth Burton or Aitken (born 1908) was a British-Canadian novelist and popular historian.
Life
Born in Cairo to Richard Burton and Alice Gwendolyn (née Kerby, later Duck),[1][2] she grew up in Windsor, Ontario. She later studied privately in Rome.[3] In 1935 Burton married John Theodore Aitken at Windsor, Ontario.[1] In the 1940s she wrote comic fantasy novels under the pseudonym Susan Alice Kerby. In Miss Carter and the Ifrit (1945), a Muslim spirit helped a spinster to find love during the Second World War.[4] In Mr Kronion (1949), a Greek god defended English village life.
From 1945 to 1965, she was the London correspondent of a Canadian daily, the Windsor Star.[5] Changing her surname by deed poll from Aitken to Burton in 1950,[6] she published her historical writing as Elizabeth Burton.
