Rose Champion de Crespigny

Rose Champion de Crespigny (born Annie Rose Charlotte Cooper-Key; circa 1859 – 10 February 1935) was an English artist and author.

The daughter of Admiral Sir Astley Cooper Key (later transcribed as Cooper-Key), GCB, ADC, FRS, and his wife, Lady Charlotte Lavinia (née McNeil), Rose married Phillip Augustus Champion De Crespigny , with whom she had two sons, Henry and Frederick.[1] Her paintings tended toward landscape;[2] her writing, after early forays into genealogical and local history, soon settled into popular fiction. Her work was described in a contemporary review as having "a certain graceful facility"[3]
