Francis Henry Cliffe

Francis Henry Cliffe was an English novelist who lived from 1860 to 1907. He wrote popular fiction in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, especially adventure and historical stories aimed at general readers.

Among the books linked with his name are A Prisoner of War and The Romance of a Queen. Although detailed biographical information appears to be scarce, surviving catalog and reference entries suggest a working author whose novels fit comfortably into the energetic, plot-driven style that readers of Victorian and Edwardian fiction still enjoy.

Because reliable personal details are limited in the sources I could confirm, it seems safest to let the books speak for him: Cliffe belongs to that broad tradition of storytellers who kept readers turning pages with danger, movement, and romance.
