Moor Fires - E. H. Young

“Moor Fires” is a 1916 novel written by E. H. Young. Emily Hilda Daniell (1880–1949) was an English children's writer, novelist, mountaineer, and advocate for female suffrage who wrote under the pen name E. H. Young. Despite being almost completely unheard of now, Young was a celebrated author who produced numerous best sellers during her time. The third of her novels, “Moor Fires” centres around the lives of twin sisters Helen and Miriam Caniper, who live with their stepmother and two brothers on a stretch of wild moorland. Loving, domestic, and fond of her home, Helen couldn't be more different than her twin, who wishes to leave and spends her time tormenting any young man who she comes across. Other works by this author include: “Corn of Wheat” (1910), “Yonder” (1912), and “Celia” (1937). Read & Co. Books is republishing this classic novel now in a new edition complete with “Introductory Poems” by Edwin Waugh and Emily Brontë.
