Rosa Campbell Praed (née Murray-Prior; 26 March 1851 – 10 April 1935), often credited as Mrs. Campbell Praed (and also known as Rosa Caroline Praed), was an Australian novelist in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Her large bibliography covered multiple genres, and books for children as well as adults. She has been described as the first Australian novelist to achieve a significant international reputation.[1] On 29 October 1872 she married Arthur Campbell Praed,[4] a nephew of the poet Winthrop Mackworth Praed. She lived with him on his property on Curtis Island, "an existence of terrifying hardship and loneliness".[9] Spender disagrees with the critical commentary on Praed which dismisses her as a middle-class woman writer of Anglo-Australian fiction. She says that "The years which she spent on Curtis Island and which played such a crucial part in determining her values – and her voice – could hardly be described as middle-class, indulgent or privileged".[10] She recreates her life at this time in her novel, An Australian Heroine (1880). It was also during her time on Curtis Island that she turned to spiritualism.[11] She later wrote many novels about psychic phenomena and the supernatural. Rosa and her husband had two children, Maud, who was deaf, and Bulkley, in Australia, and two more sons, Humphrey and Geoffrey, after their move to England.

Rosa Campbell Praed passed away, aged 84 years, on 10th April 1935 at Torquay, Devon, England.[4] She was survived by her daughter who later died in a mental asylum. Her three sons predeceased her, all through violent deaths – a car accident, a hunting accident, and suicide. Source: www.wikitree.com/wiki/Murray-Prior-3

A fernery is a specialized garden for the cultivation and display of ferns. In many countries, ferneries are indoors or at least sheltered or kept in a shadehouse to provide a moist environment, filtered light, and protection from frost and other extremes; on the other hand, some ferns native to arid regions require protection from rain and humid conditions and grow best in full sun. In mild climates, ferneries are often outside and have an array of different species that grow under similar conditions. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernery
