& Tyler Lock Ward
A Victorian publishing house rather than a single writer, this imprint helped put popular fiction, travel guides, and practical books into the hands of a wide readership. Its name appears on many late 19th- and early 20th-century editions that are still widely collected and read today.

About the author
Ward, Lock & Tyler was a British publishing firm, later known as Ward, Lock & Co. The business grew out of a partnership involving Ebenezer Ward and George Lock, and for a period the imprint used the name Ward, Lock, and Tyler before Tyler left the firm.
The company became well known for inexpensive popular books and for publishing a wide range of material, including fiction, reference works, and travel guides. Its editions were especially visible in Britain and across the English-speaking world during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
Because Ward, Lock & Tyler refers to a publishing house, there is no single author biography in the usual sense. If your edition credits this name, it most likely points to the original publisher rather than to one individual writer.
