About the author
Born in 1863 and active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Elliott Flower was an American writer and editor. Reliable library and reference records connect him with newspaper and magazine work, and public-domain collections preserve a number of his books and stories today.
Flower also worked in journalism, including roles linked to The Rambler, the Chicago Tribune, and the Chicago Evening Post. That editorial background helps explain the brisk, readable quality of his fiction, which was published in magazines as well as in book form.
He died in 1920, but his work remains easy to rediscover through archives and public-domain libraries. For listeners who enjoy older American fiction, he offers a window into the tone, concerns, and storytelling style of his era.
