About the author
Edith Constance Holme was an English writer and playwright, born on October 7, 1880, in Milnthorpe, Westmorland, and she spent most of her life in the region that shaped her fiction. She is often associated with novels set in the old county of Westmorland, where landscape, local custom, and social divisions are central to the story.
She wrote both novels and plays, and her work frequently explores class relationships as well as the pressures of village and family life. Among the books most often linked with her are The Lonely Plough, Beautiful End, and The Splendid Fairing.
Holme died on June 17, 1955. A portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources checked, so no author photo is included here.
