Louis' School Days: A Story for Boys

About the author

E. J. May was a British author known for fiction for children and young people. Project Gutenberg lists her as the author of Louis' School Days: A Story for Boys, and library listings also connect her name with books such as Mortimer's College Life, Bertram Noel, and The Sunshine of Greystone.

The available records in this search are limited, and I couldn't confirm many personal biographical details with confidence. What does come through clearly is her place in the long tradition of 19th-century writers who used school stories and domestic fiction to mix lively storytelling with lessons about character, friendship, and growing up.

Because the reliable sources I found focus more on her books than on her life, this profile keeps the emphasis on her work rather than uncertain personal facts.
