author
Best known for a Yorkshire historical tale set during the Luddite years, this little-documented writer survives in the record through a single collaborative novel rather than a large public biography.

by D. F. E. Sykes, George Henry Walker
George Henry Walker is credited as the co-author, with D. F. E. Sykes, of Ben o' Bill's, the Luddite: A Yorkshire Tale, a novel first published in 1902 and later preserved by library and public-domain catalogues. The book’s setting in Yorkshire during the age of industrial unrest suggests an interest in regional history and working-class life.
Reliable biographical details about Walker himself are scarce in the sources available online. Library records such as Open Library, Project Gutenberg, and The Online Books Page consistently link his name to Ben o' Bill's but provide little else about his life, which is often the case for lesser-known authors whose work has outlasted their personal paper trail.
That small footprint gives Walker a certain literary curiosity: he remains connected to readers mainly through one surviving story, remembered for its local color and its look at the social tensions of the early 19th century.
