About the author

Felix Lilla was the pen name of Jakob Otzen Hansen (1842–1905). A source from the Journal of German-American Studies notes that Hansen generally used the pseudonym "Felix Lilla," though he sometimes published under his own name.

The same source describes him as a prolific writer of tales with an American setting, which helps explain the flavor of the work still easiest to find today. Project Gutenberg lists Viimeinen Algonquini: Kertomus under Felix Lilla, and its catalog record presents it as a historical adventure involving settlers, Native peoples, and a rescue quest in North America.

Only a small amount of biographical detail was easy to confirm from reliable online sources, so this profile stays close to what can be checked. Even so, the available record suggests a writer who used popular fiction to bring distant landscapes and high-stakes historical drama to his readers.
