Douglas, the pen name of Anna Buchan (1877–1948), was a distinguished Scottish author known for her nuanced portrayal of domestic life and the subtle interplay of characters in early 20th-century Scotland. The sister of the renowned author John Buchan, she developed her distinct literary style, which diverged from the thrilling adventure narratives her brother was famous for.
