Rowena & Harold A Romance in Rhyme of an Olden Time, of Hastyngs and Normanhurst
by William Stephen Pryer
About the author
Very little biographical information about William Stephen Pryer could be confirmed from the sources found, but his published work shows him to be a poet associated with titles such as Rowena & Harold and Thought-Crystals in Verse, Etc.
Rowena & Harold is a romance in rhyme, and its title and presentation point to an affection for historical atmosphere and storytelling in verse. That makes Pryer an appealing name for listeners drawn to older poetic forms and the literary tone of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Because reliable personal details were scarce, it is best to let the work speak for the writer here: Pryer appears as one of those now-obscure authors whose books survive through library records, reprints, and public-domain archives rather than a well-documented public life.
