Works
Florence Marryat was an astonishingly prolific writer, and there is no definitive bibliography of her work. Estimates vary, but it is thought that she wrote around 70 novels. This was in addition to a number of plays, short stories, and works of non-fiction.
The list below covers her major works. The year stated is when the title was first published.
I am currently on the trail of various other publications and will include them when able to verify the details. Please do let me know if you have any additions or corrections.
I am indebted to Richard Beaton for correcting a number of errors.
