Emmy von Rhoden

Emilie Auguste Karoline Henriette Friedrich-Friedrich née Kühne (November 15, 1829 in Magdeburg – April 7, 1885 in Dresden), known by the pen name Emmy von Rhoden, was a German writer.

The last official volume was written by the unrelated Dutch writer Suze la Chapelle-Roobol and translated into German.

The series was a huge commercial success in Germany and translated into at least 11 different languages.
