E. H. Young

-
Standard Name: Young, E. H.
Birth Name: Emily Hilda Young
As well as eleven middle-brow novels, published between 1910 and shortly after the Second World War and most of them fine examples of the twentieth-century domestic style, EHY wrote stories and poems printed in magazines, and two books for children. Her novels were a popular success, doing well in cheap reprint series and in radio readings and dramatizations.
