D. R. King
Best known for historical adventure stories such as The Smallest Warrior, this author wrote fiction set in the world of traders, frontier travel, and Indigenous communities. The surviving public record is quite sparse, which adds a little mystery to a writer whose books still surface in library and reader catalogs.

About the author
D. R. King appears to be a relatively obscure author, and the clearest details available online come mainly from book and reader catalogs rather than full biographical sources. Those records consistently connect the name with The Smallest Warrior, published in 2014, as well as earlier novels including Sukanabi (1955) and Spitzee Anota (1957).
Descriptions attached to the earlier books suggest a taste for historical adventure, with settings involving fur traders, frontier life, and Indigenous communities in early Canada. Because I could not confirm fuller personal details such as birthplace, career, or dates, it is best to treat D. R. King as an author whose work is easier to trace than the life behind it.
That limited paper trail can still be interesting for readers: the books point to a storyteller drawn to rugged settings, survival, and fast-moving narrative. For listeners who enjoy rediscovered or lesser-known historical fiction, D. R. King has the appeal of a writer waiting to be explored.
