About the author

Frank Stevens is known for Stonehenge, Today and Yesterday, first published in 1916. The book presents Stonehenge for general readers in a clear, accessible way, combining archaeological interest with the sense of wonder that has always surrounded the site.

The strongest biographical detail I could confirm is that he was listed in that book as Curator of the Salisbury Museum. That role fits the tone of his writing: informed, orderly, and closely tied to the landscape and history around Stonehenge.

Reliable online sources for Stevens are fairly sparse, and I could not confidently confirm many personal details beyond his authorship of Stonehenge, Today and Yesterday and his museum connection. Even so, his surviving work still offers a useful snapshot of how Stonehenge was explained to curious readers in the early 1900s.
