The Roadmender, a devotional country book, was very much to early Edwardian taste, clearly touched a melancholy nerve and achieved popular classic status. When the book was published there was a great mystery surrounding who Michael Fairless was, and what locale did he describe with such love? The place was West Sussex, the Adur Valley, and Michael Fairless turned out to be a woman-Margaret Barber. Margaret Fairless Barber (7 May 1869 - 24 August 1901), pseudonym Michael Fairless, was an English Christian writer whose book of meditations, 'The Roadmender' (1902) became a popular classic Ref LLL 5 Size: 122pp. E.
