Pardoe's literary career began early as she published a book of poetry when she was 13. She wrote accounts of her travels, including interesting works on Turkey and Portugal. She turned to fiction to make money to "support poor relations" but the extra work eventually put a strain on her health. "Although uneven in quality, many of her novels and short stories are at their best in their sharp observations of the greed and affectation of the middle class and fashionable society." Her diffuse treatment of Marie de Medici in the above work, combats other historians critical and unsympathetic portrayal of her. DNB, Fem. Companion.

"Julia Pardoe (1806-1862), was an English poet, novelist, historian and traveler. She was born at Beverley, Yorkshire, and showed an early interest in literature. She became a prolific and versatile writer, producing in addition to her lively and well-written novels many books on travel, and others dealing with historical subjects. She was a keen observer, and her travel to the East gave her an accurate and deep knowledge of the peoples and manners of the East. To modern readers she is probably best known for her books on her travels in Turkey, which are some of the earliest works by a woman on this area. In 1836 she traveled to Constantinople with her father, Major Thomas Pardoe. This voyage inspired her book The City of the Sultan (1836). Later she collaborated with the artist William Henry Bartlett to produce The Beauties of the Bosphorus (1839), an illustrated account of Constantinople" (A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature). Lady Arabella; or The Adventures of a Doll would appear to have been her only children's book. George Cruikshank (1792-1878) was one of the most famous British caricaturists and illustrators during the Regency period. He would form a friendship with Charles Dickens, illustrating many of his books, and later in life would be active in the temperance movement. George Bayntun (1873-1940) was the founder of Bayntun Bindery. Trained by apprenticeship with the Taylor family, Bayntun opened his own book bindery in 1894 dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. The Bath-based firm acquired the Rivière Bindery in 1939, transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery," which is still in existence and family owned. Fine.
