Ierne Arthur Lifford Plunket (1885–1970) was a British author who dedicated her career to writing about medieval history and crafting engaging books for children. Active throughout the first half of the twentieth century, her work bridged the gap between academic historical narratives and accessible storytelling for younger audiences.
