Baroness Emmuska Orczy was born in Tarnaƶrs, Hungary, as the only daughter of Baron Felix Orczy, a noted composer and conductor, and his wife Emma. Orczy moved with her parents from Budapest to Brussels and then to London, learning to speak English at the age of fifteen. She was educated in convent schools in Brussels and Paris. In London she studied at the West London School of Art. Orczy married in 1894 Montague Barstow, whom she had met while studying at the Heatherby School of Art.
