About the author

Born in Nice in 1866, Friedrich Wilhelm Mader grew up in the household of a German-speaking Protestant pastor and later studied theology in Tübingen. He worked as a pastor before turning to writing more fully, and he became known for a wide range of work including adventure novels, future novels, plays, fairy tales, poems, and songs.

Many of his books were written for younger readers and are set in distant or dramatic locations. Reference sources describe him as a German author whose fiction often mixed travel adventure with speculative ideas, and he was sometimes compared with Karl May for his popular storytelling.

The dates attached to some library records vary, but the biographical sources found here consistently identify him as Ernst Friedrich Wilhelm Mader, born on September 1, 1866, and died on March 30, 1945, in Bönnigheim.
