Keble Howard was the pen name of John Keble Bell (8 June 1875 – 29 March 1928). He was an English writer and journalist, who wrote a large number of novels, short stories, sketches and plays, mainly light comic pieces, often depicting suburban life.[2] One contemporary literary commentator described Howard as "a highly successful novelist and a moderately successful playwright".[3]
