Hugh Conway

the pen name of Frederick John Fargus (Conway 1861-2)

An accident at Conway affected his hearing so he could not go to sea. He joined the family business in Bristol and began writing.

Many works have recently been republished and are available here. His works included:

A Cardinal Sin (novel)
A Family Affair (novel). Published postumously in 1885. A review from the New York Times is here

Called Back first published in 1883. Re-published by Eveleigh Nash & Grayson Ltd., London circa 1930. His best known work, an international best selling novel, described as "...one of the most remarkably successful books of the last 100 years...".
