Cecil Henry Bullivant

Born in Linslade, Bedfordshire, on October 14, 1882, Cecil Henry Bullivant was a British writer whose work reached readers in several different forms. Records tied to his books show him as the author of titles including A Strong Man's Way (1919) and The Drawing-Room Entertainer (1922), the latter a practical guide to conjuring, ventriloquism, and mimicry.

He also worked in the silent film era. Film databases credit him on productions such as Whose Wife? (1917), The Woman Wins (1918), The Wife Whom God Forgot (1920), and Blood Money (1921), showing how his storytelling extended from print into early cinema.

Bullivant lived a long life and died in Minehead, Somerset, on February 3, 1981, at the age of 98. Even from the limited surviving biographical record, he comes across as a versatile professional writer with a knack for popular entertainment.
