Anybody know anything about her?
Also would be good to compile a list of the books she authored. I have quite a few.

I was using ChatGPT to search her books for any biographical information. Not a huge amount, but I believe she attended "St George's School for the Blind" (almost certainly in Southark London), from 12-19. After leaving that school within 2 years both her parents died and all her sisters were married. I don't know if that can help anyone with an active Ancestry subscription find more information.
In Gospel Stories for the Young, 1914, her address is given .. "Should be sent direct to C.J.L., 8, St. Andrews Road, S. Croydon."
Bear in mind I'm not aware there is any reference to prove "Caroline J. Ladd" is actually correct, we only have the initials "C.J.L."
