About the author

Charles Richard Kenyon was an English writer who is also listed as C. R. Kenyon. The sources available here identify him as a British author of books for young adult readers, though basic biographical details such as his birth and death dates are not clearly established in the material I could confirm.

His known works include A Polar Eden: Or, the Goal of the "Dauntless" (1897) and The Argonauts of the Amazon (1901). Reference sources describe both as adventurous speculative tales: one set around a hidden world in the Arctic, the other centered on a lost Incan civilization above the Amazon.

Other surviving editions linked to his name include The Young Ranchmen; Or, Perils of Pioneering in the Wild West, which shows the broader range of his boys' adventure fiction. Even from the small record that remains, his work clearly belongs to the lively late-19th- and early-20th-century tradition of exploration stories, lost worlds, and perilous journeys.
