William Harrison Ainsworth (1805 – 1882) was an English historical novelist. He was born in Manchester, the son of a solicitor. He trained in the law, but the legal profession had no attraction for him, and when he made the acquaintance of John Ebers, a publisher and the manager of the King's Theatre, Haymarket, he was introduced to literary and dramatic circles. Ultimately, he married Ebers' daughter. He tried the publishing business, but gave it up to focus on journalism and literature. His first success as a writer was "Rookwood" (1834), and he went on to publish 39 novels.

Boscobel, or the Royal oak by Willian Harrison Ainsworth is a fictional account based on the life and political reign of the English King Charles II. Excerpt: "During the Civil Wars, the old and faithful city of Worcester suffered severely for its devotion to the royal cause. Twice was it besieged—twice sacked by the Parliamentarians. In 1642, the Earl of Essex marched with a large force against the place, stormed and pillaged it, and sent several of the wealthier citizens prisoners to London."
