She was one of the most famous English poets of her day: Letitia Elizabeth Landon, known by her initials 'L.E.L.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat was she doing in Africa? Was her death an accident?

However, she was also a woman with secrets, the mother of three illegitimate children whose existence was subsequently wiped from the record.
