(1863-1930) was an author and playwright, known for his works Ladies
in Lavender, The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne, and The Beloved Vagabond. Locke had previously graduated with a
degree in mathematics and worked as a schoolteacher and headmaster, all of which
he disliked greatly. It was only after he was stricken with tuberculosis that
he began to pursue writing full-time, publishing a large amount of works
before his death in 1930. Several of his writings were turned into Broadway
plays, named The Morals of Marcus (1907), Idols (1909), and
Septimus (1909). Locke also wrote two original plays, titled
The Witch (1910) and The Mountebank (1923). His works have
also been translated into a number of popular films, most recently Ladies
in Lavender in 2004. Fold in center. Toned. Heavily creased. Ink note
