About the author
Edward Charles Booth was an English novelist born in 1872 and died in 1954. Catalog records and library listings connect his name with novels including The Post-Girl, The Doctor's Lass, Bella, and Fondie.
Later writers and books about regional literature remember him as a Yorkshire author, especially associated with Holderness. That local connection seems to be a big part of his lasting appeal: his work is still noted for its sense of place and for bringing Yorkshire settings and voices into popular fiction.
