Daniel O'Connor

Daniel O'Connor (1880–1951) appears in library records as a writer and editor whose surviving published work centers on retellings, adaptations, and edited religious or literary texts. Among the books linked to him are The Story of Peter Pan, Retold from the Fairy Play by Sir J. M. Barrie, The Story of the Mikado, and editions of works by John Fisher and Thomas More.

What stands out about his bibliography is its range. Some titles point to a literary, family-friendly side, especially his retelling of Peter Pan, while others show an interest in devotional and historical reading. Together they suggest a practical, reader-focused author who helped bring established works to new audiences in a simpler or more inviting form.

Detailed biographical information about his life is hard to confirm from the sources I found, so the clearest picture comes from the books themselves: a figure from the first half of the 20th century whose name remains attached to thoughtful retellings and editorial work rather than to a large public literary profile.
