About the author
Born in 1876 and remembered today as an early Canadian writer, he published across several genres and names: commercial fiction as Frank L. Pollock, western and adventure fiction as Frank Lillie Pollock, and more literary work under Francis Lillie Pollock.
He is especially noted now for his place in early science fiction. Stories such as Finis helped give him a lasting reputation, while his longer adventure novels drew on frontier settings, outdoor danger, and fast-moving plotlines that suited popular magazine and book audiences of the early 20th century.
Pollock died in 1957. Much of his writing has survived through library archives and public-domain editions, making him an appealing rediscovery for listeners who enjoy classic adventure fiction, early speculative tales, and overlooked authors from Canada’s popular literary past.
