About the author

Frederick Davis Greene was an American author and Episcopal clergyman, born in 1855 and died in 1935. Public-domain library records link him with fiction and juvenile literature, and his work remains available through major online archives.

His books were written for a broad popular audience, especially younger readers, with an easy storytelling style and a strong sense of character. Because many of his works are now in the public domain, they continue to be rediscovered by readers interested in classic children's and early twentieth-century fiction.

Reliable biographical detail available online is fairly limited, so the outline of his life is less documented than the survival of his books. Even so, the record that remains suggests a writer remembered through the steady afterlife of his stories rather than through literary celebrity.
