Dorothy Margarette Selby Lowndes, writing as Dolf Wyllarde (1871-10 May 1950)[1] was a British journalist and a writer of verse and fiction.[2][3]
She was educated at King's College London.[2] In 1913 she was elected a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.[4] Little is known about her life, except that she lived at Old Mixon Manor near Weston-super-Mare.[3]
Her poem "Rondeaux d'Amour" was published in volume 4 of The Yellow Book[5][6] and she published two other collections of poetry.[2]
She published over 30 books between 1897 and 1939, including collections of stories, children's books, and many novels.[7][8]
Her 1916 novel Exile: an outpost of empire was the basis of a 1917 American film,[9] and The Holiday Husband was filmed in 1920 featuring Adeline Hayden Coffin.[10]
