		MEREDITH NICHOLSON (1866-1947) was a prolific and popular author in his lifetime, but is little known today outside his native state of Indiana, which he used as setting for a number of his works (notably The House of a Thousand Candles, the best-seller among his many novels).

		Nicholson was an excellent prose stylist with an ear for energetic and realistic dialogue and a narrative ability far above the average of the popular novelists of his day (or ours).
