About the author
Margaret Robson Stacpoole was a British writer active in the early 1900s. Surviving catalog and public-domain records link her with the 1914 novel London, 1913 and with The Man Who Found Himself (Uncle Simon), a 1920 book credited to both Margaret Robson Stacpoole and H. De Vere Stacpoole.
She is a somewhat obscure figure today, and the available reliable sources are sparse, so many personal details are hard to confirm with confidence. Library and reference records do, however, show that her books have been preserved by projects such as Project Gutenberg, the Online Books Page, and the Internet Archive, which suggests a modest but lasting place in popular fiction of her time.
Some reference sources also connect her to Henry de Vere Stacpoole, the Irish author of The Blue Lagoon, as his wife and literary collaborator. Because the biographical record is limited and no suitable verified portrait was found from the sources checked, it is better to let the work itself stand at the center of her author profile.
