From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Bury Westall (February 7, 1834 – 1903) was an English novelist born in Old Accrington, Lancashire, England. Originally a businessman, he later became a journalist and also wrote a large number of novels, including The Old Factory, Strange Crimes, Her Ladyship's Secret, of which the Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature from 1910 says "while healthy in tone and interesting, [they] have no literary distinction".
