Harold Edward Bindloss (1866-1945) was an English novelist who wrote many adventure novels set in western Canada. Bindloss was born in Liverpool in 1866. He was more than 30 years old before he began writing. Previously he worked as a farmer in Canada and as a cargo heaver, a planter, and at other jobs in southern climes. He returned to London. In 1898, he published his first book, a non-fiction account based on his travels in Africa, called In the Niger Country. This was followed by dozens of novels. He was a popular writer. One reviewer writes: A new book by Harold Bindloss is always welcome. He tells a story well indeed, but one likes his books best perhaps for the environment which he knows so well how to sketch. He has written charming stories of the Canadian Northwest and one remembers with pleasure his novels Prescott of Saskatchewan and Winston of the Prairie, (Oakland Tribune, 1915). Bindloss' most famous works include: Ranching for Sylvia (1912), The Gold Trail (1910) and Vane of the Timberlands (1911).

Though he lived much of his life in England, author Harold Bindloss never forgot the Canadian prairies where he spent some time as a farmer in his early adulthood. Weakened by disease later in life, Bindloss took up writing, and the vast majority of his westerns were set in the rolling plains of Canada. Winston of the Prairie is one of Bindloss' most acclaimed novels, and it's sure to please fans of classic westerns.
