--ABOUT THIS ITEM--
Edith Constance Holme (October 7, 1880 - June 17, 1955), married name Punchard, was an English writer and playwright. She was born in Milnthorpe, Westmorland (now in Cumbria), the youngest of fourteen children. Her novels are set in the old county of Westmorland, where she lived most of her life except for brief periods at school in Birkenhead and Blackheath. Many of Holme's works explore class relationships; her first two books focus on the three-way relationships between landowners, tenant farmers, and land agents (Holme's father and her husband were both land agents). Her 1921 novel The Splendid Fairing won the Prix Femina-Vie Heureuse.
