Maud H. Croft (or Mannering) was born in London in 1867, the daughter of Montague Mannering and Esther Croft. She married British writer, drama critic and former cricketer William Yardley,[1][2] in New York in 1886, and they had four children. She was widowed when William Yardley died in 1900,[3][4] and she died in 1954, aged 87 years, in Evesham, Worcestershire.[5]
Career[]
Yardley was a widow with young children when she became a published author.[6] Her first novel, Sinless (1906), was described as a "foggy romance" of mistaken identities.[7][8] It was followed with an "engrossing" and "tragic" novel, Nor All Your Tears (1908).[9][10] She also wrote short stories for newspapers and magazines.[11][12][13]
