About the author
Frank Kimball Scribner was an American author and journalist, born in New York on February 22, 1866, and deceased in 1935. Reference sources consistently describe him as both a writer and a newspaperman, and one biographical source notes that he spent four years on the staff of the New York Sun.
His known books include The Honor of the Princess (1897), The Fifth of November (1898, with Charles S. Bentley), In the Land of the Loon (1899), A Continental Cavalier (first published in 1899), and The Secret of Frontellac. The mix of titles suggests a taste for historical fiction, romance, and lively regional adventure.
Some biographical listings also say he studied at Williams College and later at Harvard Law School, though the most consistently confirmed details are his work as an author and journalist and the books published under his name. I wasn’t able to confirm a reliable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
