Miles Lawson : or, the Yews
by Mrs. W. Reynolds Lloyd
About the author
Born Bitha Fox in Perranarworthal, Cornwall, on March 13, 1811, she later became known to readers as Mrs. W. Reynolds Lloyd after marrying William Reynolds Lloyd in 1860. She died on March 9, 1894, at Castle Dene, Nottingham.
She wrote both fiction and devotional prose. Sources found during this search identify her as the author of The Ladies of Polcarrow (1864), and library records also list Watchers for the Dawn, and Other Studies of Christian Character (1890). She was also described as a prolific contributor to Victorian periodicals including The Leisure Hour and Sunday at Home.
Modern readers are still likely to encounter her through Miles Lawson; or, the Yews, a later publication associated with her name and now available through Project Gutenberg. Her writing appears to have been shaped by strong religious interests and a desire to tell stories with warmth, character, and a clear moral center.
