Alfred Raymond

Alfred Raymond is a little-documented author associated with the Harry Harding books, including Harry Harding—Messenger "45" and Harry Harding's Year of Promise. Project Gutenberg currently lists those two works under the name Alfred Raymond, and both were originally published in 1917.

The novels are centered on young characters finding their way through school, work, responsibility, and friendship. Modern catalog and reading pages describe them as early 20th-century juvenile fiction, and the books were issued by Cupples & Leon, a publisher known for children's and young readers' books.

Beyond those publications, reliable biographical details about the person behind the name are hard to confirm. Some library readers have even suggested that Alfred Raymond may have been a pseudonym, but I could not verify a real identity from the sources available here, so it is safest to treat the name as an author credit attached to these surviving books rather than claim more than the record clearly shows.
