Jean Overton Fuller is a personal friend of the Inayat Khan family. During World War II, she was employed by the British Postal Censorship Office in London. At the end of hostilities, she travelled extensively throughout Europe, interviewing various people connected with Noor's tragic, yet inspiring life.

The resultant publication, Madeleine, published by Victor Gollancz Ltd. in 1952, was re-published in 1988 by East-West Publications in Rotterdam. This updated version contains some chapters, which were eliminated from the original manuscript, such as an in-depth exploration of Tipu Sultan, Noor's ancestor. Victor Gollancz (April 9, 1893–February 8, 1967) was a British publisher, socialist, and humanitarian. ...

Following the book's publication, Fuller continued extensive researches into the history of the wartime SOE French networks, interviewing many of the people involved - British and French, as well as Gemrans - in order to find who was responsible for betraying Noor and and her fellow agents. Her results were published in the 1958 "Double Webs" (Putnam & Co).

Until the publication of Shrabani Basu's Spy Princess: The Life of Noor Inayat Khan (Sutton Publishing, 2006), Fuller's book was considered to be the definitive biography of Noor Inayat Khan.
