About the author

Born in Vienna on June 21, 1858, Andrä Heinrich Fogowitz was an Austrian author known for writing for younger readers. He produced adventure stories and other popular fiction, and library and catalog records also connect him with the form "Andrea H. Fogowitz," the name used on some editions.

Fogowitz appears to have been especially prolific. Reference sources describe him as a writer of youth books and adventure books, and note that he also published under the pseudonyms Heinrich Herold, Willibald Römer, and Max Wirth. His surviving works and catalog entries suggest a strong interest in lively storytelling, travel, danger, and the kind of wonder that made late 19th-century popular fiction so appealing.

Some sources give his death simply as 1909, while others say he died after 1909, so the exact date is not fully clear from the material available here. What is clear is that his name remains attached to a body of entertaining fiction that continued to circulate long after his lifetime, including stories preserved in digital libraries such as Project Gutenberg.
