About the author
Born in 1855 in Long Newnton, Gloucestershire, Grace Elizabeth Wyatt was the daughter of the clergyman and author Henry Herbert Wyatt. She is identified in reference sources as the writer who used the familiar name G. E. Wyatt.
Wyatt wrote fiction for younger readers, especially boys' stories and school tales. Surviving listings of her work include Lionel Harcourt, the Etonian; or, Like Other Fellows and Archie's Mistake, which suggest the kind of moral and character-driven adventure fiction popular with young audiences of her time.
She lived from 1855 to 1940, placing her work in the late Victorian and early modern publishing world. While detailed biographical material is limited, the record that remains points to a steady contributor to children's and juvenile literature under a concise and memorable pen name.
