The Reverend Thomas Firminger Thiselton-Dyer, MA, Oxon (1848 – 14 July 1923)[1][2] was an English writer of popular non-fiction books, including British Customs: Past and Present, The Folk-lore of Plants, and perhaps most famously, Strange Pages from Family Papers, which was considered a masterpiece of popular historical writing.[citation needed] He was particularly admired for his ability to couple in-depth research with the suspense and excitement normally associated with the nascent art of detective fiction.
