About the author
Born Matilda Winifred Muriel Graham in London in 1873, she wrote under the name Winifred Graham and built an unusually large body of work over the course of her career. Reference sources consistently describe her as a prolific English novelist and short-story writer, and her work began appearing in the 1890s.
She published a wide range of fiction, including sensation novels and short stories, and is often noted for producing more than eighty books. Some sources also identify her as an anti-Mormon activist, reflecting the polemical side of her writing alongside her popular fiction.
Graham died in 1950. Today she is remembered both for the sheer scale of her output and for the mix of entertainment, controversy, and strong opinion that runs through her writing life.
