About the author

Arthur L. Fowler is known for Fowler's Household Helps, a short household guide published in Albany, New York in 1918. Library and public-domain catalog records consistently identify the author as "Arthur L. Fowler, 1881-," but the available sources do not clearly confirm fuller biographical details beyond that birth year.

His book is a practical collection of more than 300 tips for cooking, cleaning, stain removal, and general household management. That focus suggests a compiler with a strong interest in useful everyday knowledge rather than a literary career built on many well-known titles.

Because reliable biographical records for him are scarce in the sources available here, it is safest to remember him through the book itself: a brisk, no-nonsense snapshot of domestic advice from the 1910s.
