About the author
Margaret Pedler was a British novelist who lived from 1877 to December 28, 1948. She became known for popular romantic fiction and was widely read in the first half of the 20th century.
Before building her literary career, she studied piano and singing at the Royal Academy of Music. She also published songs for which she wrote both the music and the lyrics, a background that helps explain the emotional, melodramatic tone readers often notice in her fiction.
Her first novel, The Splendid Folly, appeared in 1917, and over the next three decades she produced 28 novels. Though not as famous today as some of her contemporaries, she remains a familiar name to readers of vintage romance and dramatic popular fiction.
