About the author
Frank Kimball Scribner was an American author and journalist, born in New York on February 22, 1866, and remembered for a run of popular fiction in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Reliable catalog and reference sources consistently connect him with historical romances and adventure writing, and also note his work in journalism.
His known books include The Love of the Princess Alice (1896), The Honor of a Princess (1897), The Fifth of November (1898, with Charles S. Bentley), In the Land of the Loon (1899), A Continental Cavalier (1899), and The Secret of Frontellac (1912). Together they show a writer drawn to vivid settings, fast-moving plots, and a mix of courtly drama, colonial history, and outdoor storytelling.
Scribner does not seem to have a widely available modern biography, but his surviving works suggest a versatile storyteller who moved comfortably between magazine-era fiction and book-length adventure.
