Nickleby, Nicola

Nicola Nickleby (1870-1956) wrote much of her work anonymously, contributing short stories and articles to Victorian magazines such as The Quiver, Leisure Hour, The Windsor and Tit-Bits, as well as to Edwardian journals like The Strand. She had a parallel career on the stage and during the First World War became active in the Suffragist movement, to which she remained committed at a time when many of her companions abandoned campaigning for war-work. Prospero is proud to have reissued several of her short stories and, in Autumn 2015, her novel We Never Shall Marry.
