Notice biographique
Born in Manchester, Ralph Straus was educated at Harrow and at Pembroke College, Cambridge. His first novel, Heart's Mystery (1903), was privately published while he was still an undergraduate. He wrote thirteen further novels and a number of works of non-fiction, several pertaining to the history of printing. He reviewed fiction for the Sunday Times and the Bystander for a period of almost twenty years. In addition, he was a printer and book collector. He died on 5 June 1950.
