Esther Meynell
Esther Hallam Meynell (née Moorhouse) (1878 in Leeds – 4 February 1955 in Brighton, Sussex), was an English author.[1][2][3][4] She is best known for her The Little Chronicle of Magdalena Bach, a fictional autobiography of Anna Magdalena Bach, the wife of composer Johann Sebastian Bach, and Nelson’s Lady Hamilton, a book about the life of Emma, Lady Hamilton, mistress of Lord Nelson. There are also many books by her about Sussex, where she lived.[5] On the other hand, her Time's Door belongs to the genre of science fiction due to its theme of time travel.[6] Meynell was the niece by marriage of the poet and suffragette Alice Meynell.[7]
