Jane Lane (1905-78), was the pen name of Elaine Kidner Dakers, British historical novelist and biographer distantly related to the Jane Lane who aided Charles II after his defeat at Worcester. She is best known for her books about the Stuart period and early modern Scotland, written from a Catholic and Royalist perspective. Quite a scarce book.
