Bithia Mary Croker, commonly known as B. M. Croker (1848 - 1920), was a prolific Anglo-Irish novelist, most recognized for her work during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Croker was born in Roscrea, County Tipperary, Ireland, and spent much of her early life in India, where her husband served as an officer in the British army. The subcontinent's vivid environment and colonial society profoundly inspired her writing, providing a rich backdrop for many of her novels. With a writing career that produced over 40 novels, Croker gained popularity for her keen observations, humorous sketches of Anglo-Indian life, and her ability to construct engaging plots that resonated with a wide readership of her time. Her novel 'The Road to Mandalay', while not as widely known as some of her other works like 'The Company's Servant' or 'Peggy of the Bartons', exemplifies her literary style which often combined romance with elements of mystery and suspense (Young, 2015). Croker's narratives often featured strong-willed female protagonists navigating the social complexities of the British Raj. Her works, now considered valuable for their portrayal of colonial life, continue to provide historical and cultural insights into the dynamics of the British Empire in India. Croker's contribution to Anglo-Indian literature marks her as a significant figure in the literary canon of her time, although much of her work has yet to be critically reevaluated by modern scholarship.
