Biography

Antonia Florence Ridge (7 October 1895 – 18 June 1981) was a Dutch-born writer and broadcaster, who wrote the English lyrics for Friedrich-Wilhelm Möller's popular song, "The Happy Wanderer" (originally "Der fröhliche Wanderer" or "Mein Vater war ein Wandersmann"), and others of his works.

She wrote fiction and non-fiction, for adults and children. She scripted and read plays for BBC Radio's Children's Hour. Her non-fiction works include a biography of the botanical artist, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and For Love of a Rose, a biography of the rose-growing Meilland family. Some of her works were collaborations with the Dutch author Mies Bouhuys [nl].

She appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 25 January 1960.
