About the author
Cecilia Selby Lowndes was a British novelist active in the late 19th century, though basic biographical details such as her birth and death dates remain unclear in the sources readily available online.
A bibliographic record from At the Circulating Library: A Database of Victorian Fiction, 1837–1901 lists her as the author of numerous works published between 1883 and 1889, including Launcey Vernon, Only Girls, The Two Violets, Foolish Dora, Ethel Fortescue, Both Sides of the River, Linda and the Boys, Miss Hope's Niece, and Robin Goodfellow's Brother.
Her surviving bibliography suggests a writer especially interested in stories for younger readers and family reading. Project Gutenberg currently lists Lena Graham among her available texts, helping keep at least part of her work in circulation for modern readers.
