Fowl
1877–1941
Known by the pen name Fowl, this early 20th-century writer is chiefly remembered for witty, illustrated Eve books created with artist Anne Harriet Fish. The surviving record is sparse, which adds a little mystery to a body of work built around playful humor and stylish design.

About the author
Fowl was a pseudonymous author, listed in library and public-domain records as living from 1877 to 1941. The clearest confirmed details point to a collaboration with illustrator Anne Harriet Fish on The First Book of Eve (1916), a humorous pictorial work published with an introduction by Richard King.
Catalog and book records also attribute related Eve titles to the same pen name, including The New Eve and The Third Eve Book. Across those works, Fowl appears less as a conventionally documented literary figure and more as a witty creative partner helping shape the text, tone, and design of a popular illustrated series.
Because reliable biographical information is limited, not much can be said with confidence about the person behind the pseudonym. What does remain is the work itself: light, comic, and closely tied to the magazine-and-cartoon culture of its time.
