Autorenporträt

LOUISA MATILDA SPOONER (1820-1886) was born in Maentwrog and spent most of her life in Porthmadog. Growing up in comfort as the daughter of a railway engineer, she never married and eventually managed her brother Charles's household following the death of his wife. Between 1858 and 1868, Spooner published three novels which were inspired by the history, culture, and geography of her home county, Meirionydd. The Cambrian Journal praised her debut, the historical novel Gladys of Harlech, for 'its true spirit of patriotism' and applauded the author's 'not inconsiderable skill and power'.
