About the author
Born in Cork on January 26, 1867, he was the son of the Very Rev. Achilles Daunt, Dean of Cork. He was educated at Marlborough and at Oxford, later entering holy orders in the Church of England.
Alongside his church career, he wrote adventure fiction for young readers. His books include The Three Trappers and In the Land of the Moose, the Bear, and the Beaver, both set in Canada and built around hunting, travel, and survival in the wild.
Library and catalog records list him as active in print from 1882 to 1909, which is why his dates are often given that way rather than as birth and death years. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not found from the sources checked.
