About the author

Born in 1861 in Clondalkin, County Dublin, Irish poet and novelist Katharine Tynan was educated at a convent school in Drogheda, and began publishing her poetry in 1878, when she was seventeen years old. Tynan was active in Dublin literary circles, and was friends with poets Gerald Manley Hopkins, and William Butler Yeats, and a correspondent with poet Francis Ledwidge. She married writer and barrister Henry Albert Hinkson in 1898, and moved with him, for a time, to England. They had three children, one of whom - Pamela Hinkson - was an author herself. In addition to her poetry, Tynan wrote over one hundred novels, as well as five volumes of autobiography.
