Written by British novelist Henrietta Eliza Vaughan Stannard, who wrote largely under the pseudonym John Strange Winter. As well as for her many short stories and novels, Stannard was known as the founding president of the Writer's Club and president of the Society of Women Journalists.

'Grip' is a tale of love following the romantic endeavours of Robert Garge. As with many of Stannard's other works, this novel provides insight into the middle class, a group which made up the majority of the author's audience.
