BiographyHistory

Maysie Greig was a journalist with the Sydney Sun newspaper from 1919 to 1920. There is some evidence that Greig published the same works, often under different titles, under different names in England and the United States; it has not been possible to verify this. She was the wife of Max Murray (q.v.).
