What’s in a Name? Welcome to Penelope Rose.Born commoners, Katherine and her older sister Philippa, who married Geoffrey Chaucer, were left poor. Bio from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I have been able to finish my Anya Seton collection as well as give them as gifts to fellow friends and family that love historical fiction. Anya Seton (Janu November 8, 1990) was the pen name of Ann Seton Chase, an American author of historical romances, or as she preferred they be called, 'biographical novels'. I am very happy that these books are being republished and have found new readers. In fact, I chose it for a book club selection and my book club loved it as well. They started with Katherine, one of the novels I had been unable to find, and I was riveted by the classic novel. I built up a pretty good collection, but I was more than excited when in 2004, the Chicago Review Press started to republish Anya Seton’s works in beautiful new editions. Seton’s novels were out of print so I began a decade long search for her novels at any used book sale or book store that I could find. I was riveted by this novel and wanted to read more Anya Seton novels. The novel was The Hearth and the Eagle and I was a teenager that loved historical fiction. I first discovered Anya Seton at a library used book sale during the annual big car show in Vicksburg, Michigan.
