Florence Caddy was a Middlesex-based English nonfiction writer. She wrote the first well recognized book on household management. Florence Tompson was born in Middlesex (now London) in 1837. She married John Turner Caddy in 1857 at the Church of Christ the King, Bloomsbury in London, and they had five children: John Francis (1857), Florence (1863), Arnold (1866), Hermione Helena (1869), and Adrian (1879). Her husband died in 1902, and she died in 1923 in Plymouth. Caddy's 1877 Household Organisation is 84 pages long and covers the most of housekeeping topics. Her book on Joan of Arc, published in 1886, was regarded as "eminently readable" by The Spectator. However, the reviewer points out that she "does not belong to the sceptical school of historians." She believes Jeanne was a divinely inspired heroine and does not doubt the veracity of her voices and visions.
