Description

“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.
