Faustino Fonseca Júnior

Very little reliable biographical information about this author was available in the sources I could confirm during this search. The clearest match was a Project Gutenberg author entry for Faustino Fonseca Júnior, which lists Lyra da Mocidade in Portuguese.

Because I could not verify further details such as birthplace, dates, or a broader bibliography from dependable sources, it is best to treat the author as a little-documented figure rather than fill in gaps with guesses. Even so, the survival of Lyra da Mocidade in public-domain catalog records suggests a writer whose work has remained accessible to later readers.

For listeners, that rarity can be part of the appeal: this is the kind of author who invites discovery through the text itself, with the book carrying more of the story than the surviving biography does.
