INTERESTING
Margaret Barber (1869 to 1901) pseudonym Michael Fairless was born in West Yorkshire, the youngest of three daughters. She was initially tutored at home by her mother. She became aware of a spinal condition and her health continued to deteriorate, including her sight and she was in continual need of care.
Unable to continue her charitable work, Barber took up writing under the pseudonym Michael Fairless. Her first book was the religious romance The Gathering of Brother Hilarius (1901) but it was The Roadmender (1902) that achieved a wild success, being reprinted 31 times in 10 years.
