Lord Loveland Discovers America

One of the Bestselling Fiction Books of 1910. Lord Loveland Discovers America by Charles Norris (1859–1920) was a British writer, motoring journalist and founder of the Black and White who was perhaps best-known for his collaboration with his wife, Alice Muriel Williamson, in a number of novels and travelogues. Born in Exeter, Williamson was educated at University College, London, where he studied engineering. He spent eight years as a journalist on the Graphic before establishing the Black and White in 1891 as founding editor. He published a Life of Carlyle in 1881. Several of the Williamsons' short stories and novels later became films. Charles Norris Williamson wrote many of his published works in partnership with his wife, Alice who apparently said of him "Charlie Williamson could do anything in the world except write stories": she also said "I can't do anything else." Charles wrote some novels on his own, as did Alice after her husband's death.
