Margaret Agnes Paul (18 July 1829 – 30 March 1905)[1] was a Scottish novelist. Margaret Agnes Colvile was born on 18 July 1829, one of sixteen children of Andrew Colvile, a governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, and Mary Louisa Eden, daughter of William Eden, 1st Baron Auckland. Her siblings included James William Colvile, a judge in colonial India; Eden Colvile, Governor of Rupert's Land and the Hudson's Bay Company; Isabella Colville, mother of football pioneer Francis Marindin; and Georgiana Mary, Baroness Blatchford.[2] In 1856, she married clergyman and religious author Charles Kegan Paul. They had five children, including authors and translators Eden Paul and Nancy Margaret Paul.[1][2] Her writing career began before her marriage. She was the author of a dozen anonymously published romances. When her husband worked for and later purchased the publishing firm Henry S. King & Co., renamed C. Kegan Paul & Co, she published her novels through them.[3]
