About the Author

Enoch Arnold Bennett (27 May 1867 – 27 March 1931) was an English novelist.

His most famous works are the Clayhanger trilogy and The Old Wives' Tale. These books draw on his experience of life in the Potteries, as did most of his best work. In his novels the Potteries are referred to as "the Five Towns"; Bennett felt that the name was more euphonious than "the Six Towns" so Fenton was omitted. - from Wikipedia
