Cecil Henry Bullivant

Born in Linslade, Bedfordshire, on October 14, 1882, Cecil Henry Bullivant was a British author whose career ranged across popular fiction and practical entertainment writing. Reliable catalog and reference sources also identify him as an editor, and science-fiction reference material notes that he edited The Boys' Herald in the early 1900s.

Bullivant wrote under his own name and, at times, under pseudonyms including Maurice Everard. His books included Home Fun, a substantial guide to amateur theatricals and home amusements, as well as adventure fiction such as The Gold of Treasure Island. Film databases also credit him as a screenwriter for silent-era productions including Whose Wife?, The Woman Wins, and The Wife Whom God Forgot.

He died in Minehead, Somerset, on February 3, 1981. Although he is not widely known today, his surviving bibliography suggests a versatile professional writer with a knack for entertaining readers in several different formats.
