Nelle Scanlan was the most popular New Zealand novelist of the 1930s and 1940s, particularly important for her pivotal role in creating a New Zealand market and readership for New Zealand fiction. Her Pencarrow novels were the first bestsellers written by a New Zealander, with a New Zealand setting, and appealing to the local market.
