| Publisher Description: Walter Copeland Jerrold (1865-1929) was an English writer, biographer and newspaper editor.Jerrold was born in Liverpool, the son of Thomas Serle Jerrold and Jane Matilda Copeland (who were first cousins), and one of 11 children. His family had strong theatrical connections: Both his grandfather Douglas William Jerrold and uncle William Blanchard Jerrold were notable dramatists, and his great grandfather Samuel Jerrold was an actor and theater manager. Jerrold spent most of his life in London, starting work as a clerk in a newspaper counting-house, and going on to become deputy editor of The Observer. He edited many classic texts for the newly founded Everyman's Library, wrote biographies, travel books (for the "Beautiful England" series - published by Blackie and Son Limited), 4] edited children's books, and produced stories for children under the name of Walter Copeland. On 23 July 1895 he married Clara Armstrong Bridgeman (2 December 1861-1937) at Kensington Register Office. Though the first-born son died young, of five daughters (one set twins), Ianthe Jerrold (1898-1977), became a fiction writer. |
