The Vicar's Daughter by E H Young

The Vicar's Daughter by E H Young

The Vicar's Daughter is a 1927 novel written by E. H. Young. An almost Shakespearean comedy of misunderstandings, mixed motives, and mistaken identity revolving around a vicar, his clever wife, his jealous cousin, his eccentric neighbours, and his daughter. Emily Hilda Daniell (1880-1949) was an English children's writer, novelist, mountaineer, and advocate for female suffrage who wrote under the pen name E. H. Young. Despite being almost completely unheard of now, Daniell was a celebrated author who produced numerous best sellers during her time. Other works by this author include: Corn of Wheat (1910), A Bridge Dividing (1922), and Moor Fires (1916). Read & Co. Books is republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with a new specially-commissioned biography of the author.

Young, E. H.: - Emily Hilda Young (1880-1949) was born in Whitley, Northumberland. She was educated at Gateshead High School and Penrhos College in Wales. In 1902 she married solicitor John Daniell and moved to Bristol, the thinly-disguised setting of most of her novels. During the First World War Emily Young worked in a livery stable, then at a munitions factory. After her husband's death at Ypres in 1917 she left Bristol for London, living with a married man, Ralph Henderson, and his wife. Between 1910 and 1947 she wrote eleven novels for adults, including Miss Mole which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1930, and two for children. After Ralph Henderson's retirement, and the death of his wife, he and Emily went to live in Bradford-on-Avon. Her final novel, Chatterton Square, was published in 1947, two years before her death.
