"No. 101"

About the author
Wymond Carey was the pseudonym of Sir Charles Grant Robertson (1869–1948), a British historian and academic. Wikipedia notes that Robertson published a series of romantic novels under this name in the early 1900s, while Project Gutenberg and other library catalogs list works such as Monsieur Martin and No. 101 under Wymond Carey.
That blend of scholarship and storytelling helps explain the feel of the books: they are historical adventures written by someone with a serious interest in the past. Robertson is also remembered for his academic career, including his later role as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Birmingham.
