b. 1882

by Charles Sherman
Charles Sherman was an American author born in 1882. Reliable catalog records found during this search confirm at least two books under his name: He Comes Up Smiling, which is available through Project Gutenberg, and Only Relatives Invited: A Social and Socialistic Satire, published by Bobbs-Merrill in 1916.
The available records suggest a writer of light, humorous popular fiction, with titles that lean toward comedy and social satire. Because biographical information about him was scarce in the sources located, it is hard to say much more with confidence about his life beyond the fact that he published in the early 1900s.
That scarcity gives his work a certain charm today: Sherman survives mainly through library catalogs and preservation projects, where readers can still discover a once-commercial novelist whose books offer a glimpse of early 20th-century tastes and storytelling.
