The Vicars Daughter

"The Vicars 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 childrens 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.
