| Arthur Mee.
(A brief – and highly inaccurate – biography. His parents
were not
both journalists (nor were
their names Herbert and Wilfred), and even the story about Keir
Hardie is apocryphal. For the true facts relating to Arthur Mee's
life, see
here. Incidentally, Herbert and Wilfred were two of Arthur Mee's
brothers, and they did both become journalists, which may be
how the confusion arose.)
