Horace Wyndham

Horace Wyndham was an English writer born in 1875, known chiefly for biography, literary compilation, and historical nonfiction. Library and public-domain records list works ranging from The Queen's Service (1899) and The Magnificent Mummer (1909) to The Winged Anthology (1914), showing a career that moved between military writing, theater, and editorial work.

He is especially associated with vivid biographical and society-centered books, including The Magnificent Montez: From Courtesan to Convert and The Mayfair Calendar: Some Society Causes Célèbres. Modern catalog and author records also connect him with later titles such as This Was the News and note that he published under the name Reginald Auberon as well.

Some sources disagree on his exact birth year, with records showing both 1873 and 1875, so it is safest to say that he was born in the mid-1870s and died in 1970. What comes through clearly is his taste for colorful real lives and public drama, making him a natural choice for readers who enjoy historical biography with a strong narrative pull.
