About the author
Felix Lilla was the pen name of Jakob Otzen Hansen (1842–1905). The name is linked in library and book records, and a scholarly source on German-American studies describes Hansen as a prolific writer who usually published as Felix Lilla, though he sometimes used his own name.
His surviving works suggest a writer drawn to popular narrative fiction, especially tales of adventure and conflict. Project Gutenberg lists works under the Felix Lilla name, including Viimeinen Algonquini, and modern catalog pages show that his stories continued to circulate long after his lifetime.
Some details of his life are not easy to confirm from readily available sources, so the clearest picture is of a productive late-19th-century author whose pseudonym became the lasting public name attached to his fiction.
