Denham Jordan wrote numerous books and articles under the pseudonym, "A Son of the Marshes". He was a house-painter by profession, was born in Milton Regis (Milton-next-Sittingbourne) in Kent and moved to Dorking when he was a teenager, living there for the rest of his life. The places mentioned in his books are always disguised, Longshore Drift (1898) was his only book where he used real place-names, and that by public demand.
