Standard Name: Crommelin, May
Birth Name: Maria Henrietta de la Cherois Crommelin
Self-constructed Name: May
In the fifty years following 1874 MC published an average of over a book a year, besides contributions, mostly fictional, to magazines. Most of her books are novels and most of those are romances.

She also diverged into travel writing (a notable success), anthologizing, and a story for children.
