Elsie J. Oxenham

My copy of the omnibus was awarded in 1936 to Betty for good conduct and for seven years of perfect attendance at the Church of Christ in Barnet.

Elsie Jeanette Dunkerley was born in 1880 in Lancashire.

She was the daughter of William Arthur Dunkerley, who was a well-known journalist and author, and he often wrote under the pseudonym John Oxenham.

Elsie's own career as an author, it begins in 1907 when she's 27 years old with the publication of Goblin Island and she's adopting Elsie J. Oxenham as her pen name from this point forward.
