Known today for the short 1914 play A Daughter of Japan, this little-documented writer is associated with a cross-cultural drama of love, duty, and sacrifice. The surviving record is sparse, which gives the work an added air of mystery.

About the author

F. D. Bone is a little-known early 20th-century author whose surviving public record appears to center on A Daughter of Japan. Library listings and public-domain editions consistently identify that work under the name F. D. Bone, and Open Library currently shows just this one title for the author.

A Daughter of Japan was first published in 1914 and is a short dramatic work. Modern summaries describe it as a story about a British naval officer and a Japanese woman, with the plot turning on conflicting demands of love, honor, and military duty.

Beyond that book, reliable biographical details about F. D. Bone are hard to confirm from readily available sources. No clearly verified portrait was found, and even basic facts such as full name, dates, or nationality remain uncertain in the sources reviewed.
