Description

Louis Stone (21 October 1871 - 23 September 1935) was an Australian novelist and playwright.

Around 1908 Stone married Abigail Allen and also began to write a novel Jonah, published in London in 1911.

According to Geoffrey Dutton, Stone was intimately familiar with the setting for Jonah, spending time in Waterloo and Paddy's market, studying the local larrikins and their speech.

The novel was warmly accepted by H G. Wells, Galsworthy and George Bernard Shaw. Unfortunately it was not a financial success, until popularity was finally attained in the nineteen sixties and seventies after it was put on high school reading lists.
