British author of more than 700 titles, mostly of Cinderella stories set in the 19th century. Barbara Cartland rose to her status as the queen of romantic fiction during the 1960s and maintained her record-breaking, prolific writing pace through decades. Cartland portrayed the English upper-class world, where her characters live with the manners and ideals of an aristocratic culture. Becoming a caricature of her own work, Cartland was known for her love of pink chiffon clothing and jewelry.

"He kissed her until she was no longer herself but his, and it was so wonderful that it was impossible to think of anything except that she loved him and he filled her whole world, and she was no longer afraid." (in Love on the Wind, 1983)

Barbara Cartland was born in Edgbaston, West Midlands, into a wealthy family. She attended Malvern Girls' College and Abbey House, Netley Abbey, Hampshire. Her grandfather committed suicide when he went bankrupt and father was killed in Flanders in 1918. Cartland was reared by her strong mother, who moved the family to London and opened her own business, a dress shop in Kensington.

Cartland was one of the 'bright young things' of the post-war period – she was independent, talented, and smart. She also married well. Her first step into fame was her work as a Fleet Street reporter. In her book of memoirs, We Danced All Night: 1919-1929 (1970), Cartland depicted how she made her way among the influential and the beautiful after leaving school and the sheltered world of a child in 1919. "Now the restrictions were ended. I was out! I was grown-up! I was expected overnight to be amusing, gay, and attractive to men. And incredible though it seemed, I was!" As a journalist Cartland wrote gossip columns for the Daily Express. At the age of 20 she started her first novel. Cartland's success began from Jigsaw (1925), which sold 100,000 copies in hardback. In the 1920s she wrote the play Blood Money and two other novels. Her output of book grew steadily, averaging over 20 in the mid-1970s. By 1993, Cartland's books had sold over 600 million copies.

During World War II Cartland was Chief Lady Welfare Officer for Bedfordshire (1941-45). Her brother, Ronald Cartland, was the first Member of Parliament to be killed in the war. She also acted as a political speaker for the Conservatives, county councillor for Hertfordshire (nine years), chairman of the St. John Council, deputy president of St. John Ambulance Brigade, and president of Hertfordshire branch of Royal Coolege of Midwives. In the 1960s she founded the National Association of Health and was its president.

Cartland also fought for better conditions and salaries for Midwives and Nurses. She championed the cause for old people and had the law altered regarding gypsies – local authorities had to provide camps for their own gypsies. She had also her own Romany Gypsy Camp called Barbaraville. Cartland herself lived on her luxurious estate 15 miles north of London, but she founded the first Romany Gypsy camp in the world, giving a portion of her 300-acre estate to them. Camfield Place, in Hertfordshire, the estate of author Beatrix Potter, was later owned by Cartland; she moved there in 1950. In her autobiographies Cartland revealed her interest in natural health. She advocated such treatments as acupuncture, holistic medicine, and health foods. Controversially, when she gave interviews, she was caked with makeup.

Cartland married in 1927 Alexander George McCorquodale (d. 1964), and became step-mother of the mother of Raine, Countess Spencer, step-mother of the late Princess of Wales, Diana Spencer. After divorce Cartland married Hugh McCorquodale in 1936 (d. 1963), a cousin of her first husband. In 1991 Cartland was made Dame of the Order of the British Empire. Among her several awards are Dame of Grace, St. John of Jerusalem, Certificate of Merit, Eastern Command (1946), National Home Furnishings Associations Woman of the Year Award (1981), Bishop Wright Air Industry award (1984), and Gold Medal of the City of Paris for Achievement (1988).

In the Guinness Book of Records Cartland was listed for writing 26 books in 1983. Actually, she did not write, but dictated her works most of her career. At the age of 77, she doubled her output from 10 books a year to the average of two volumes per month. Barbara Cartland died on May 21, 2000, after a short illness. During her career she published 723 works, which were translated into some 40 languages. Cartland also wrote film scripts. She left behind 130 unpublished novels wrapped in pink ribbon. They started to appear in 2004 in a series called The Barbara Cartland Pink Collection. Many of them are set  in Regency England. The first title was The Cross of Love.

Cartland's novels are very moral and always have a happy ending. Her heroines are innocent and submissive, heroes are dashing dukes, and her advices to her readers are practical: "To make a man happy a woman has to be loving, compassionate and very sympathetic. But she also has to stimulate his mind and keep him alert and interested. Most of all she has to inspire him to do the best of which he is capable and to try to reach the stars." (in Paradise Found, 1986) Love is the life force of everything and conquers all obstacles. Through her goodness and inner worth, the heroine transforms the roaming hero, most often an aristocrat or noble, into responsibility towards her.   

Cartland claimed to write a book in seven days. Her nonfiction works include autobiographies, books on health, food, vitamins, and beauty. But she is best remembered for her quasi-historial Regency, Victorian, and Edwardian romances, a genre which was largely ignored until the 1960s. After Georgette Heyer, generally considered the best of the modern Regency romance authors, found out that Cartland's Knave of Hearts (1950) had similarities with her These Old Shades (1926) the book was reissued in the United States under a new title, The Innocent Heiress (1970), and a cover heading: "In the tradition of Georgette Heyer". After 1960, Cartland gained a wide American readership, when her books were reprinted in paperback format.

Sometimes Cartland dealt with factual characters, as in Josephine, Empress of France (1961), Metternich: The Passionate Diplomat (1964), and Love on the Wind (1983). It was based on her visit in Hyderabad in February 1982. In the story Sita is forced to accompany her uncle on his voyage to Calcutta. She attempts to throw herself overboard, but is prevented by a mysterious stranger, who also rescues her from kidnappers in Hyderabad, but again disappears. In the background of the story is the introduction of the Ilbert Bill by the Viceroy, Lord Ripon. It lead to plan by the Assam tea planter to kidnap the Viceroy.

Love at the Helm was completed with the help and inspiration of the Late Admiral of the Fleet, the Earl Mountbatten of Burma. The book was sold for the Mountbatten Memorial Trust. In I Seek the Miraculous (1977) Cartland revealed her spiritual experiences, concluding that those who "give out love become one with the whole living, breathing force of the universe and God." The theme of personal growth is often prominent in Cartland's novels, in which the central characters must experience conflicts before gaining insight of themselves. Although Cartland wrote occasionally contemporary romances, she preferred the idealized world of the 19th century – a statement on the values of the modern western civilization. "Equality with men is rubbish," she said in a 1983 interview. "It's a mistake for women to take men's jobs; men don't like women over them. My son says that so many working women today have these dreadful, strident voices." (Romance Revolution: Erotic Novels for Women and the Quest for a New Sexual Identity by Carol Thurston, 1987, p. 44)
