About the author

Andrew Cassels Brown (1875–1941) was a British author whose surviving bibliography points to a small but distinctive body of work. He is most clearly associated with The Book of Artemas and Artemas: The Second Book, both tied to the First World War era and still listed by major digital-text archives and library catalogs.

Those Artemas books stand out for their curious mix of satire, commentary, and war-themed narrative. Catalog and bookseller records also show that Brown wrote later fiction, including Josselin Takes a Hand in 1927, suggesting he worked beyond the wartime books and into mystery or suspense fiction as well.

Little easily verified biographical detail about his personal life appears to be available in the reliable sources found here. What does remain clear is that his writing has endured through preservation projects such as Project Gutenberg, the Online Books Page, and Internet Archive, which have helped keep his work accessible to modern readers.
