A. H. Noe

Known today for a single surviving 1885 book, this elusive late-19th-century writer gathered dream lore, fortune-telling methods, and popular occult beliefs into one compact volume. Very little is firmly documented about the person behind the name, which only adds to the book’s old-world mystery.

About the author

A. H. Noe is credited with The Witches' Dream Book, and Fortune Teller, published in New York by H. J. Wehman in 1885. Library and public-domain catalog records consistently link the name to that work, and the book has remained the main reason the author is remembered.

The volume is a lively mix of dream interpretation and everyday divination, reflecting the curiosity many readers had about signs, omens, and fortune-telling in the late 1800s. Modern editions and digital archives have helped keep it in circulation for readers interested in folklore, superstition, and Victorian popular culture.

Beyond that book, reliable biographical details about A. H. Noe are hard to confirm. Even major library listings offer little personal information, so the author remains something of a literary shadow—known less through a life story than through one intriguing survival from the occult publishing world of the 19th century.
