Kathleen Macfarlane Lizars

Kathleen Macfarlane Lizars was a Canadian writer best known for historical books and fiction about early Canada. Her work includes Humours of '37, Grave, Gay and Grim, In the Days of the Canada Company, and The Valley of a Hundred Hills, showing a strong interest in the people, politics, and social life of the nineteenth-century Canadas.

Her books suggest a writer who liked history with movement and personality: not just dates and events, but local color, conflict, and the textures of ordinary life. Several of her titles remained visible through library and archive listings long after publication, which points to a lasting niche among readers of Canadian history and historical storytelling.

The date you provided, 1931, fits the record for her death. I found only limited biographical detail beyond her published works, so this overview stays close to what can be confirmed from those sources.
