The life of Lord Northcliffe, creator of Britain's first mass market paper, The Daily Mail, was a mixture of brilliance and tragedy. Born in 1855 into a family of very modest means, he was earning a ducal income by the time he was 30 and by 1914 was the owner not only of the Mail but also of The Times, The Observer and the Daily Mirror.
