British author Edward Frederic Benson, born in 1867, was lucky enough to achieve literary acclaim, not just in his lifetime, but indeed from his first published novel Dodo (1893) which was an instant success. The novels that followed received similar levels of admiration, these include: Mrs. Ames (1912); Queen Lucia (1920); Miss Mapp (1922) and Lucia in London (1927). In total he went on to write an array of books (nearly 100) on varying subjects ranging from biographies to memories pertaining to late Victorian and Edwardian England. He died in 1940, aged 72, of throat cancer; he is buried in the cemetery at Rye, East Sussex.
