Arthur Frederick Wallis

Arthur Frederick Wallis was an author active in the early 1900s. The clearest confirmed record found here is his 1914 historical novel Idonia: A Romance of Old London, published by Little, Brown, and later preserved by Project Gutenberg.

Book listings also attribute the play Stars of the Morning to him, suggesting that his writing ranged beyond fiction into drama. Because biographical information appears to be scarce in the sources reviewed, many personal details about his life remain hard to confirm.

What does come through is the kind of storytelling he was drawn to: historical atmosphere, moral conflict, and characters tested by duty, family ties, and betrayal. For readers who enjoy older adventure-leaning historical novels, Wallis is an interesting rediscovery.
