About the author
Margaret Westrup was a British writer active in the early 1900s. Public-domain and reference listings identify her as an author who published a number of novels, including books for children as well as fiction for general readers.
Reference sources also connect her with the name Mrs. W. Sydney Stacey and note that she married W. Sydney Stacey in 1910. They place the couple in Cornwall, a setting that fits the atmosphere suggested by titles such as Tide Marks and The Young O'Briens.
Her surviving reputation today rests largely on those early novels, which continue to circulate through library, reprint, and public-domain collections. Although detailed biographical information appears to be scarce, the available records show a writer whose work belonged to the rich tradition of Edwardian and early modern popular fiction.
