John Davys Beresford was born on 17th March 1873. His life was blighted by infantile paralysis which left him partially disabled. After an education at Oundle school he trained to be an architect. However, he quickly decided that his life was to be centred on a literary career. His first offerings were in drama and as a journalist. As well as being a book reviewer for the Manchester Guardian he contributed to New Statesman, The Spectator, Westminster Gazette, and the Theosophist magazine The Aryan Path. His spiritual journey in early adulthood had claimed him as an agnostic, in defiance of his clergyman father. This view he later abandoned in preference to describing himself as a Theosophist and a pacifist. As well as many novels, many themed with spiritual and philosophical elements. Beresford was also a gifted short story writer particularly across the science-fiction, horror and ghost genres. All of these elements helped him to obtain a prominent place in Edwardian Literary London. John Davys Beresford died on the 2nd February 1947. He was 73.Ver libro

Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life. The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.Ver libro
