Margaret Westrup

Margaret Westrup was a British writer of the Edwardian period. Oxford Reference notes that she married the painter W. Sydney Stacey in 1910, and that the couple lived in Cornwall. The same source describes her as the author of eight volumes of fiction from this period, including books for children.

Her surviving bibliography shows a steady run of fiction in the early 1900s. The Online Books Page lists titles such as The Coming of Billy (1905), The Greater Mischief (1908), Elizabeth in Retreat (1912), and Elizabeth's Children (1903), while Project Gutenberg has helped preserve The Young O'Briens, first published in 1906.

Her novels are remembered for readable storytelling and an interest in domestic life, growing up, and the small upheavals that shape a family. Even though detailed biographical information is limited, her books still offer a clear sense of her era and her gift for approachable, character-driven fiction.
