Horace Annesley Vachell fut un écrivain anglais prolifique dont l'œuvre se concentra souvent sur un mode de vie anglais confortablement prospère. Bien que son style ait été parfois comparé à celui de Galsworthy, il n'a pas été considéré comme une figure littéraire majeure. Vachell a laissé un vaste corpus d'œuvres, comprenant des romans, des pièces de théâtre et des nouvelles, dont certains récits se déroulent dans le pays des ranchs américains. Son écriture évoque fréquemment une atmosphère anglaise charmante et traditionnelle, reflétant son propre milieu et ses sensibilités.
