About the author
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search. What is clear is that Maysel Jenkinson is credited as the author of Beyond the Hills, a children's novel originally published in London by Frederick Warne & Co. in 1926.
The novel has remained visible through library and book-record listings, and it was recently added to Project Gutenberg, which describes it as an early 20th-century children's adventure story. Its focus on siblings, friendship, and small-scale exploration suggests a warm, character-led style rather than a high-stakes adventure.
Because so little verified personal information was available, it is best to think of Maysel Jenkinson as an obscure author whose work has outlasted the public record of the life behind it.
