About this title

About the Author

Sir Edward Abbott Parry was a British judge and dramatist. Parry was born in London into a distinguished Welsh family, the second son of barrister John Humffreys Parry and grandson of antiquary John Humffreys Parry, who led the Welsh literature movement in the early nineteenth century. His great-uncle, Thomas Parry, was bishop of Barbados, and his great-grandfather, Edward Parry, was the Rector of Llanferres in Denbighshire. Parry himself attended the Middle Temple and was admitted to the Bar in 1885. He served as Judge of Manchester County Court from 1894 to 1911 before being appointed Judge of Lambeth County Court in 1911. He wrote numerous history, dramas, and children's books. He was assigned to a Pensions Appeal Tribunal in the summer of 1917, which heard appeals against official decisions on military pensions, and later co-authored a book on War Pensions: Past and Present with Sir Alfred Codrington, another Tribunal member. He died at Sevenoaks, Kent, at the age of eighty. Parry's autobiography, My Own Way, was published in 1932. To tell one example, he spent the summer of 1895 or 1896 in the tiny village of Rhoscolyn on Anglesey, where he became a close friend of the Rector, Revd. John Hopkins.
