Andrew Home

Born Andrew Jones Halford in Leeds in 1864, he wrote under the pen name Andrew Home. Reliable bibliographic sources identify him as a British author of boys’ fiction, and note that before becoming widely known in print he worked in accountancy and later ran his own partnership in Leicester.

He published fiction for young readers in the late Victorian and early 20th-century period, with works connected to school stories and adventures. His writing appeared under the Andrew Home name, while public-domain library records and author listings preserve a number of his books and editions.

He died in 1952. Although he was clearly a published and remembered author, I couldn’t confirm a suitable verified portrait image from the sources I found, so no profile image is included here.
