Francese Hubbard Litchfield (Mrs. Lawrence) Turnbull (c1845-1927) was an American author. She was the wife of Lawrence Turnbull (1821-1900), an American publisher. Her works include: The Golden Book of Venice (1900) and The Royal Pawn of Venice (1911). "Among the day-dreams of the Rulers of Venice the island of Cyprus had long loomed large and fair-Cyprus, the happy isle of romance, l'isola fortunata, sea-girdled, clothed with dense forests of precious woods, veined with inexhaustible mines of rich metals; a very garden of luscious fruits, garlanded with ever-blooming flowers-a land flowing with milk and honey and steeped in the fragrance of wines that a god might covet. "
