About the author
Born in 1834 and later associated with Australia, Colin Munro is identified in reliable bibliographic sources as an Australian novelist. He is known for Fern Vale; or, The Queensland Squatter, published in London in 1862 in three volumes.
That novel has endured as his best-known work and is still available in digital form today, which has helped keep his name alive for modern readers interested in colonial Australian fiction. Its setting in Queensland makes it especially notable for readers curious about how nineteenth-century writers imagined settler life.
Very little biographical detail was confirmed in the sources I found beyond his dates, nationality, and authorship of Fern Vale. Even so, his surviving novel gives him a place in the history of early Australian literature.
