Dornford Yates

7 August 1885 - 5 March 1960

Dornford Yates was the pseudonym of the English novelist, Cecil William Mercer, whose novels and short stories, some humorous (the Berry books), some thrillers (the Chandos books), were best-sellers in the 21-year interwar period between the First and Second world wars. The pen name, Dornford Yates, first in print in 1910, resulted from combining the surnames of his grandmothers – the paternal Eliza Mary Dornford, and the maternal Harriet Yates. Wikipedia
