About the author
A. D. Crake (Augustine David Crake, 1836–1890) was an English author whose biographical details are limited in publicly available sources. Six of his works are held in this collection, most of them historical novels set against Anglo-Saxon England and the era of monastic reform in the Middle Ages. His representative work, The Last Abbot of Glastonbury, revolves around the Dissolution of the Monasteries, while the Aescendune trilogy—Edwy the Fair, Alfgar the Dane, and The Rival Heirs—traces early English kingship and family feuds. The House of Walderne and Brian Fitz-Count likewise draw on medieval castle and monastic life. His writing emphasizes historical atmosphere and narrative drive, appealing to readers interested in English historical romance.
