Bithia Mary (or May) Croker (née Sheppard, c. 1848 or 1849[1] – 20 October 1920) was an Irish novelist, most of whose work concerns life and society in British India. Her 1917 novel The Road to Mandalay, set in Burma, was the uncredited basis for a 1926 American silent film, of which only excerpts survive. She also wrote ghost stories.[2][3][4]
