Andrew Cassels Brown
1875–1941
Best known for the two Artemas books, this early 20th-century writer used a war-shadowed, allegorical style to explore ambition, power, and human behavior. His surviving work feels unusual and literary, with the First World War close behind its pages.

About the author
Andrew Cassels Brown was a writer born in 1875 and died in 1941. The most clearly documented works I could confirm are The Book of Artemas and Artemas: the second book, concerning men, and the things that men did do, at the time when there was war, published in 1917–1918.
The Artemas books are associated with the era of the First World War and present a reflective, story-driven view of conflict rather than a simple battle narrative. Public-domain and library records show that these books were issued by George H. Doran in New York, with a London edition of the second volume published as The Second Book of Artemas.
Beyond those bibliographic facts, reliable biographical details about his life are hard to confirm from the sources I found. Because of that, it is safest to remember him as a somewhat elusive literary figure whose reputation now rests mainly on the Artemas books.
