Edith King Hall Author

Edith King Hall (1864-1933) was a British children’s author. Born in Sheerness, England, Hall was the daughter of a prominent officer in the Royal Navy. In the 1890s, she began writing novels for children, eventually publishing seven books through Glasgow-based press Blackie & Son. Hall never married, and while not much is known about her, she is regarded as a moderately successful author of juvenile fiction from the Victorian era.
