	Dornford Yates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dornford Yates was the pseudonym of the British novelist, Cecil William Mercer (August 7, 1885 – March 5, 1960).
		The son of a solicitor, 'Dornford Yates' attended Harrow School and University College, Oxford.
		Smithers in his biography of Dornford Yates states "exactly how he hit upon the place is not clear" but Pau figures several times in the memoirs he is presumed to have ghost-written for C. Stamper and so that may be the answer – anywhere good enough for King Edward VII was good enough for him.

		Yates, born Cecil William Mercer and author of the Chandos thrillers and such light comedies as Berry & Co. that secured his fame in his native England, receives devotional treatment at the hands of biographer Smithers.
		Smithers celebrates those charms and prejudices, which Yates idealized and preserved in his stories.
		Although Yates is never fully brought to life here, one comes to appreciate him as an aloof figure, the quintessential outsider, happiest in the the world of his imagination.

		Born Cecil William Mercer into a middle class family with many Victorian skeletons in the closet, including the conviction for embezzlement from a law firm and subsequent suicide of his great-uncle, Yates’ parents scraped together enough money to educate him at Harrow.
		For the former he created the Berry books which established Yates’ reputation as a writer of witty, upper-crust romances.
		For the latter he created Richard Chandos, who recounts the adventures of Jonah Mansel, a classic gentleman sleuth.

		Jonathan Mansel, one of Dornford Yates' most popular characters, heads a small private organisation dedicated to the detection of serious crime 'by methods sadly unavailable to the regular police'.
		An aristocratic member of his team is murdered and the avengers set out in pursuit of the killer, in a tale of 'violence and a measure of sublimated sex'.
		Caricatured villains, a page-turning plot and some good jokes - in short, classic Yates.
