About the author
Born Bitha Fox in Perranarworthal, Cornwall, on 13 March 1811, she later became known to readers as Mrs. William Reynolds Lloyd after marrying William Reynolds Lloyd in 1860. Reliable catalog and reference records identify her as a British author who also published as Bitha Lloyd and Mrs. W. Reynolds Lloyd.
She began publishing before her marriage and wrote across several forms. Her books included the novel The Ladies of Polcarrow (1864), and she was also a prolific contributor to periodicals such as The Leisure Hour and Sunday at Home. Surviving catalog records also connect her with devotional and biographical works including Watchers for the Dawn and Pictures of Heroes and Lessons from Their Lives.
She died on 9 March 1894 at Castle Dene, Nottingham. A confirmed modern portrait was not readily available from the sources I could verify, so no profile image is included here.
