  Ellen Price was born on 17th January 1814 in Worcester.  
  In 1836 she married Henry Wood, whose career in banking and shipping meant living in Dauphiné, in the South of France, for two decades.  During their time there they had four children. 
  Henry’s business collapsed and he and Ellen together with their four children returned to England and settled in Upper Norwood near London.   
  Ellen now turned to writing and with her second book ‘East Lynne’ enjoyed remarkable popularity. This enabled her to support her family and to maintain a literary career. 
  It was a career in which she would write over 30 novels including ‘Danesbury House’, ‘Oswald Cray’, ‘Mrs. Halliburton's Troubles’, ‘The Channings’ and ‘The Shadow of Ashlydyat’.  
  Sadly, her husband, Henry died in 1866. 
  Ellen though continued to strive on. In 1867, she purchased the magazine ‘Argosy’, founded two years previously by Alexander Strahan.  She was a prolific writer and wrote much of the magazine herself although she had some very respected contributors, amongst them Hesba Stretton and Christina Rossetti. Although she would gradually pare down writing for the magazine she continued to write novel after novel.  Such was her talent that for a time she was, in Australia, more popular than Charles Dickens. 
  Apart from novels she was an excellent translator and a writer of short stories.  ‘Reality or Delusion?’ is a staple of supernatural anthologies to this day. 
  Ellen Wood died of bronchitis on 10th February 1887).  He estate was valued at a very considerable £36,000.  
  She is buried in Highgate Cemetery, London.  
  A monument to her in Worcester Cathedral was unveiled in 1916.

  FINALIST FOR THE 2025 ATWOOD GIBSON WRITERS' TRUST FICTION PRIZE 
  With an intimate, comic, and compassionate eye, the twelve stories in Simple Creatures consider what it means to live with less in the twenty-first century. 
  In this debut collection, Robert McGill explores the heartaches and joys of people who are desperate to uncomplicate their complicated world. Through stories taking the form of YouTube monologues, pet-care instructions, school reports, or the unspoken thoughts of a young scholar obsessed with a famous Canadian writer, Simple Creatures also shows us the sometimes hilarious, often poignant ways in which our use of language shapes our relationships with others and ourselves.We meet a teenager who wants to live among a community of Bigfoot that he claims to have discovered in the woods; the widow of a famous endocrinologist after she gains custody of a chimpanzee from his lab; a boy whose fledgling hockey career is troubled by the fact that his name is Leo Gretzky; and a divorcee seeking out the mysterious author of a viral environmental pledge. Through their lives, Simple Creatures offers an acute, sympathetic portrait of our time. 
  “Here are people struggling with simple needs and small dramas that nevertheless got entirely under my skin – sublime awe, tender longing, painful anxiety, too. Robert McGill’s masterful Simple Creatures reminded me of how potent an elixir the short story form can be – the magic of words alchemically transforming within me into raw feeling. The stories in Simple Creatures truly live and breathe.” – Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer, author of Wait Softly Brother 
  "Robert McGill writes hilarious, smart, heart-breaking stories. A master of voice and dialogue, character and perspective, he knows everyone’s loneliness. We’re all in here, the whole arc of life: children in the beginning, elderly athletes battling to the end, and middle aged lovers trying to love in the middle of the internet and a climate disaster. Come watch as one of our best stylists plies his trade, pushing short fiction to its contemporary, ecstatic edge." – Alexander MacLeod, author of Light Lifting and Animal Person
