About the author

Thomas Street Millington was born in London on March 29, 1821. He studied at Tunbridge School and St John's College, Cambridge, and later became an Anglican clergyman.

Records of his career show that he served as a curate in Lezayre on the Isle of Man and in Northampton before becoming vicar of Woodhouse Eaves. Alongside his church work, he wrote a range of books, which helps explain why his name appears in both religious and literary catalogs.

For modern readers, Millington is most often linked with No Living Voice, first published in 1872, a short ghost story that has outlived much of his larger body of work. He died on March 21, 1906.
