About the author

Mrs. William Liddle is a little-documented author known today for collaborating with William Liddle on Peeps at Many Lands: Sweden. The book was published in 1911 and presents Sweden through travel writing, cultural description, and scenes from daily life.

Very little biographical information about her appears to be readily available in major public sources, and even her personal given name is often not supplied, which was common in older publishing records. Because of that, the clearest confirmed picture of her work is through the book itself and later library-style listings that continue to credit her as Mrs. William Liddle.

Her surviving reputation rests on a style that aims to make another country feel vivid and approachable for general readers. For listeners interested in classic travel and cultural writing, her contribution offers a small but intriguing glimpse into how Sweden was introduced to English-language audiences in the early 1900s.
