Mills | 40 comments The book here is by "Mrs. Steuart Erskine", her actual first name being Beatrice. We don't generally include titles in authors' names, but if you look at another edition, it has been attributed to Steuart Erskine which would imply her husband (actual name Robert Steuart Erskine) rather than her: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2... I considered just putting Beatrice Erskine, but this isn't the name the book was published under.

That would be one of the cases where the title is needed to avoid confusion.
