Andrew Haggard

Born in Norfolk in 1854, he was Andrew Charles Parker Haggard, a British officer and writer. Reliable catalog and reference sources describe him as both an army man and an author, and note that he was a brother of the novelist H. Rider Haggard.

His published work shows an unusually broad range. He wrote Victorian fiction including Dodo and I, Ada Triscott, Leslie's Fate, Tempest-Torn, Hannibal's Daughter, and Love Rules the Camp, but he also produced nonfiction such as Under Crescent and Star, a book connected with his experience and interests in Egypt, and later historical writing including Remarkable Women of France.

He died in 1923. While a full modern biography is hard to pin down from the sources I could confirm here, the picture that emerges is of a career soldier who kept writing across genres, bringing military experience, travel, and a taste for history into his books.
