Evelyn Bridget Patricia Ward-Thomas (née Stephens; 3 July 1926 – 25 September 2018), better known by the pen name Evelyn Anthony, was a British writer. Anthony was born in the Lambeth district of London. She had a very prolific writing career, translated into at least 19 languages and her 1971 novel The Tamarind Seed was adapted for a film in 1974, starring Julie Andrews as Judith Farrow.
Anthony began her writing career at seventeen, publishing short stories in women's magazines. She used the pen name Evelyn Anthony as Evelyn was gender-neutral and Anthony was derived from the name of St. Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost things. Her first novels were historical romances, beginning with the publication of Rebel Princess in 1953, which was the first of her Romanov trilogy and focused on Catherine the Great. She also published Anne Boleyn (1957), Victoria and Albert (1958), and Anne of Austria (1968). Her historical novels Far Fly The Eagles (1955) and Valentina (1966) were both set during Napoleon's invasion of Russia.
Beginning with The Legend which she published in 1969, she focused on novels with a theme of espionage. She was one of the few women writing in the genre at the time, a group which included Helen MacInnes and Ann Bridge. She wrote a series of four novels, beginning with The Defectors (1980), which chronicled the tales of fictional female secret agent, Davina Graham, who became the MI5 director. She was influenced by friends of her father, who worked with the Special Operations Executive during World War II. One of these intelligence officers was Desmond Bristow, who inspired the novels The Rendezvous (1967) and The Poellenberg Inheritance (1972).
She published novels consistently throughout her life, until the publication of her final novel, Mind Games (2005). She was a best-selling author and her books were translated into at least nineteen languages. Her most famous novel was The Tamarind Seed (1971), which was adapted into a film of the same name in 1974, starring Julie Andrews as Judith Farrow, a British Home Office functionary and Omar Sharif as Feodor, a Soviet air attaché, lovers involved in Cold War intrigue. Two of her novels – Anne Boleyn (1956) and Victoria (1957) – won the United States Literary Guild award. The Occupying Power received the 1973 Yorkshire Post award.
