author
Best remembered for adventure and juvenile fiction from the early 1900s, this writer published books such as The Village of Hide and Seek and The Tale of the Phantom Yacht. His work has the brisk, story-first feel of its era, with plenty of movement, mystery, and old-fashioned charm.
by Bingham Thoburn Wilson
Bingham Thoburn Wilson was an American author whose books appeared in the early twentieth century. Sources found during this search confirm him as the author of titles including The Village of Hide and Seek (published in 1905) and The Tale of the Phantom Yacht.
His surviving works suggest a storyteller drawn to adventure, youthful curiosity, and lively settings. The books linked to his name today are often preserved through library and rare-book records, which points to a writer who was part of the popular print culture of his time even if detailed biographical information is now hard to find.
Because reliable biographical records about his life are scarce in the sources reviewed here, many personal details cannot be confirmed with confidence. What does come through clearly is a body of fiction that still appeals to readers interested in vintage storytelling and forgotten authors from the turn of the century.
