Derrick Sterling: A Story of the Mines

According to Wikipedia: "Ada Ellen Bayly (March 25, 1857 - February 8, 1903) was a novelist. Bayly was born in Brighton, the youngest of four children of a barrister. At an early age, she lost both her parents and she spent her youth with an uncle in Surrey and in a Brighton private school. Bayly never married and she seems to have spent her adult life living in with her two married sisters and her brother, a clergyman in Bosbury in Herefordshire. In 1879, she published her first novel, Won by Waiting, under the pen name of "Edna Lyall" (apparently derived from transposing letters from Ada Ellen Bayly). The book wasn't a succes. Succes did come with We Two, based on a real-life story. Her historical novel In the Golden Days is recorded as being the book John Ruskin read on his deathbed. Together Bayly wrote eighteen novels."
