Autor

Stanley John Weyman was a best-selling novelist o his day. He was born in Ludlow, England, in 1855 and educated at Shrewsbury and Christ Church College, Oxford where he obtained a degree in modern history. He qualified as a barrister and was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1881. His income was so little that he wrote some short stores which were published in the Cornhill Magazine; as a result of these the editor suggested he wrote on a larger scale. For the last thirty years of his life he lived in Denbighshire, where he was chairman of the Magistrate's Bench. He died in 1928
