When the Yule Log Burns (Esprios Classics)

Leona Dalrymple (1884 in Passaic Passaic NJ 1968 in Stamford Fairfield CT) was an early 20th century American author of novels short stories and plays. Dalrymple's first publication was a play in 1905; the firm that published it later issued another dozen of her works mostly written for amateur theatricals. In 1913 Dalrymple won the then very large prize of $10000 in a literary competition organized by the publisher. The winning entry was her romance novel Diane of the Green Van published the following year. A second entry in the competition that was highly rated by the judges was also by Dalrymple; though slated for publication under the title The Nomad it apparently was never issued or at least not under that title.
