About the Author: Maurice Henry Hewlett (1861–1923) was a distinguished English historical novelist, poet, and essayist known for his deep appreciation of medieval history and literature. Born in Weybridge, he was the eldest son of Henry Gay Hewlett of Shaw Hall, Addington, Kent. Educated at the London International College, Hewlett pursued a career in law and was called to the bar in 1891. However, the literary success of The Forest Lovers led him to abandon law and dedicate himself entirely to writing. From 1896 to 1901, Hewlett served as the Keeper of Lands, Revenues, Records, and Enrolments, providing him with profound insights into medieval law that greatly influenced his writing. His works are celebrated for their rich historical detail, lyrical language, and profound exploration of human emotion and experience. Happy to discuss shipping options!
