About the author
Writing as Wymond Carey, Sir Charles Grant Robertson published a run of historical and romantic novels in the early 1900s. Reliable catalog records connect the name Wymond Carey with books such as Monsieur Martin, No. 101, and Love, the Judge, while biographical references identify it as a pseudonym used by Robertson.
Robertson was also a well-known British academic historian. He was a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, later served as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Birmingham, and built a public career in scholarship alongside his fiction.
That mix of academic discipline and storytelling gives the Wymond Carey books their particular flavor: richly historical settings, large political backdrops, and a taste for drama and intrigue. Even when the name on the cover is little known today, the novels still offer the pleasures of classic historical fiction.
