About the author
Ethel M. Dell was the pen name of Ethel May Dell Savage, a British novelist born on August 2, 1881, and best known for writing popular romantic fiction. She published more than 30 novels and several short stories between 1911 and 1939, reaching a wide audience at a time when her books were especially successful with general readers.
Her best-known early success was The Way of an Eagle, which helped establish her reputation. Several of her novels, including The Bars of Iron and The Hundredth Chance, were successful enough to be adapted for film or stage, showing how widely her stories traveled beyond the page.
Dell was known as a very private writer, and that air of mystery became part of her public image. I wasn’t able to confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
