He was born Abraham Stoker in 1847 at 15 Marino Crescent – then as now called "The Crescent" – in Fairview, a coastal suburb of Dublin, Ireland. His parents were Abraham Stoker and the feminist Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornely. Stoker was the third of seven children. Abraham and Charlotte were members of the Clontarf Church of Ireland parish and attended the parish church (St. John the Baptist located on Seafield Road West) with their children, who were both baptised there. Stoker was an invalid until he started school at the age of seven — when he made a complete and astounding recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years." After his recovery, he became a normal young man, even excelling as an athlete (he was named University Athlete) at Trinity College, Dublin (1864 – 70), from which he graduated with honours in mathematics. He was auditor of the College Historical Society and president of the University Philosophical Society, where his first paper was on "Sensationalism in Fiction and Society". In 1876, while employed as a civil servant in Dublin, Stoker wrote a non-fiction book (The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland, published 1879) and theatre reviews for The Dublin Mail, a newspaper partly owned by fellow horror writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu. His interest in theatre led to a lifelong friendship with the English actor Henry Irving. He also wrote stories, and in 1872 "The Crystal Cup" was published by the London Society, followed by "The Chain of Destiny" in four parts in The Shamrock. In 1878 Stoker married Florence Balcombe, a celebrated beauty whose former suitor was Oscar Wilde. The couple moved to London, where Stoker became business manager (at first as acting-manager) of Irving's Lyceum Theatre, a post he held for 27 years. The collaboration with Irving was very important for Stoker and through him he became involved in London's high society, where he met, among other notables, James McNeil Whistler, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the course of Irving's tours, Stoker got the chance to travel around the world. The Stokers had one son, Irving Noel, who was born on December 31, 1879. Bram Stoker died in 1912, and was cremated and his ashes placed in a display urn at Golders Green Crematorium. After Irving Noel Stoker's death in 1961, his ashes were added to that urn. The original plan had been to keep his parents' ashes together, but after Florence Stoker's death her ashes were scattered at the Gardens of Rest.

Well, I would, and wasting time reading a bad book would be something I'd regret... Not with this one.A longer book (for a freebie), with a bit of everything in it. Romance, action, drama, death, tragedy.Tells the story of Stephen, a girl (yes a girl) growing up in rural England in the 19th Century. A girl way ahead of her times, only daughter (her dad wanted a boy hence her name), who inherits a fortune. The Man tells the story of her and her two main love interests, and one of their adventures overseas. It also touches on good and bad times growing up, and Stephen's relationship with her aunt.Telling too much more would give a lot away of the plot but it is well written, though drags at times (but not often). Great character development, not only Stephen, but her best friend Harold and a lot of other characters, some who don't enter the story until well into the second half.Not the kind of story I would usually read, though I enjoyed it immensely after being recommended by a friend.4 - 4 1/2 stars
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Great Book! By Sher This has to be the best book I've ever read, that I didn't hear about in advance. It starts out slow, but after a while became a major page turner. I found myself crying during parts of it! It is set in the very late 1800's and the story centers around a young woman who has a great ideas for her life; I liked her ideas and do well remember being frustrated with the "way things were" when I was the same age. Problems develop for her when she makes a decision in haste, and acts upon it. I was completely impressed her ability to recognize her error, and how she corrects it. Loved it! Would make an excellent film!

Worth The Read By Amazon Customer Chose this book to read for Halloween and instead of being a horror story like so much of Stoker's work, found it to be a sweet love story. The classics are one of the best ways to learn and understand how people in different eras interpreted life. Well worth the read especially for modern women who might need a check on their views. Worth the read!
