About the author
Edgar B. P. Darlington is credited as the author of The Circus Boys series, a group of juvenile adventure novels including The Circus Boys on the Flying Rings, The Circus Boys in Dixie Land, The Circus Boys Across the Continent, The Circus Boys on the Mississippi, and The Circus Boys on the Plains.
Reliable biographical details about the person behind the name are scarce in the sources I could confirm. Based on the available catalog and public-domain records, Darlington appears to have been associated mainly with fast-paced fiction for younger readers, especially stories built around circus life, travel, and performance.
Because solid personal information was hard to verify, it is safest to remember this author through the books themselves: energetic, serialized adventures from the early 1900s that still attract readers interested in classic boys' fiction and popular entertainment of that era.
