Leitch Ritchie bol škótsky prozaik a novinár, ktorý sa okolo roku 1820, po práci úradníka v Glasgowe, rozhodol venovať literatúre ako svojmu povolaniu. Jeho dielo sa vyznačuje osobitým štýlom a hlbokým vhľadom do ľudskej povahy. Ritchieho romány často skúmajú zložitosť spoločenských vzťahov a morálne dilemy, s ktorými sa jeho postavy stretávajú. Jeho písanie je cenené pre svoju rozprávačskú zručnosť a schopnosť vtiahnuť čitateľov do pohlcujúcich príbehov.
