E. H. (Elias Henry) Jones

Born in 1883 and dying in 1942, E. H. Jones — Elias Henry Jones — was a Welsh author remembered chiefly for The Road to En-Dor. The book grew out of his First World War service and his time as a prisoner of war in Turkey, giving his writing an immediacy and tension that still stands out.

His reputation rests on the unusual mix of memoir, adventure, and psychological drama in that work. Rather than writing from a distance, he described deception, survival, and captivity from lived experience, which helps explain why the book has continued to interest readers long after its original publication.
