About the author
Born in Bryan, Ohio, in 1865, Cornelia Atwood Pratt Comer wrote under the name Cornelia A. P. Comer. She published novels, short stories, and essays, and her work appeared in places that kept her in literary circulation well into the early 20th century.
Her known books include The Daughter of a Stoic, A Book of Martyrs, Preliminaries, and Other Stories, and A Letter to the Rising Generation. She also co-authored Dr Berkeley's Discovery with Richard Slee in 1899, a curious early science-fiction mystery built around a pathologist's unusual device.
Comer died in 1929. Much of her work is now in the public domain in the United States, which has helped keep her writing available to modern readers.
