BiographyHistory

E. S. Haviland lived in Sydney. Apart from her published works, she also wrote an unpublished play 'On Wheels: A Comedy in Three Acts' (1896).

Note: The Mitchell Library Catalog records that an Ellen Bridson wrote in the Library's copy of Voices from Australia that she was the "mother of Philip Dale". Research has now shown that Ellen Bridson was the birth name of E. S. Haviland, the wife of Cyril Haviland and that she used the words 'mother of' in the sense of 'gave birth' to the pseudonym Philip Dale.
