About the author

Very little confirmed biographical information about this author appears to be readily available online. What can be verified is that Burren Laughlin is credited as a co-author of Bright-Wits, Prince of Mogadore, a book published in 1909 with L. L. Flood.

The novel has stayed in circulation through later reprints and public-domain editions, and it is still listed by Project Gutenberg under Laughlin's name. Its story of a clever prince facing a series of puzzles gives a good sense of the kind of imaginative, family-friendly storytelling Laughlin is associated with.

Because reliable personal records are scarce, it is safest to remember Burren Laughlin through the book itself: a lively, puzzle-filled fantasy from the early 1900s that has continued to find readers long after its original publication.
