Best known as the early 20th-century British publisher behind a lively catalog that included popular fiction, reprints, and theatrical works, this imprint is tied to the energetic and elusive Arthur Greening. Its name is especially remembered for publishing Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel in book form.

About the author
Greening & Co. Ltd. was a London publishing house rather than a single writer, so the name on the title page points to the firm behind the book. The company grew out of Arthur Greening's publishing venture, which began in the late 1890s and became Greening & Co. Ltd. soon afterward.
The firm published a wide mix of books, from inexpensive reprint series such as the Lotus Library to popular fiction and theatrical material. It is often noted today because Arthur Greening is associated with the first book publication of Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel, a title that helped secure the firm's place in publishing history.
Because Greening & Co. Ltd. was a publisher, not a personal author identity, there is no clear single-author life story or reliable portrait to use here. When this name appears in a catalog, it's best understood as the publishing imprint representing Arthur Greening's ambitious, fast-moving Edwardian-era book business.
