Cooke Don-Carlos

Library and public-domain catalog records identify this writer as Cooke Don-Carlos, also listed as Don-Carlos, Cooke, 1874-. The surviving records are sparse, but they consistently show an active publishing career in the early 1900s.

Confirmed works include A Bottle in the Smoke (published in 1907/1908), Virginia's Inheritance (1915), and The Mouse Miller and Other Stories (1917). The last of these has recently been digitized by Project Gutenberg, which has helped bring Don-Carlos's work back into circulation for modern readers.

Because reliable biographical sources appear to be limited, not much more can be said with confidence about the author's life beyond the published record. What does stand out is the range of the work: novels alongside shorter, imaginative stories, all now part of the public-domain trail that keeps overlooked authors readable long after their original printings.
