Achilles Daunt

1882–1909

Remembered for lively adventure stories for young readers, this little-known writer is associated with late 19th-century fiction such as The Three Trappers, set in the Canadian wilderness. Reliable biographical details are scarce, which only adds a bit of mystery to the name.

About the author

Published in the late 1800s, Achilles Daunt is credited as the author of The Three Trappers: A Story of Adventure in the Wilds of Canada, issued by T. Nelson in 1884.

Library and catalog records link the name Achilles Daunt with activity roughly between 1882 and 1909, but I could not confirm a fuller life story from the sources available here. Because of that, it is safest to describe this author as an obscure late-Victorian writer known for boys' adventure fiction rather than make stronger claims.

A clear, verified portrait was not available from the pages I could check.
