A. E. (Alfred Emil) Ingman

Born in Karvia on July 16, 1860, Alfred Emil Ingman was a Finnish priest and author of youth fiction. Sources describe him as a military and prison chaplain, and he died in Vaasa on October 10, 1917.

Ingman is often remembered for adventure and wilderness stories written for younger readers. Finnish biographical sources credit him as an early and important figure in Finnish hunting, wilderness, and adventure literature, noting that his romantic, survival-focused tales were reprinted for decades.

Works by A. E. Ingman are available through Project Gutenberg, including Rimpisuon usvapatsas, Seikkailuja saloilla ja vesillä, and Latvasaaren kuninkaan hovilinna. I couldn’t confirm a suitable portrait image from the available page images, so none is included here.
