About the author

George Edward Farrow was a British children's author born in Ipswich, England, in 1862. Reliable biographical details about his life appear to be scarce, but he is remembered for writing imaginative books for young readers at the turn of the 20th century.

His best-known works include The Wallypug of Why, a comic fantasy that helped build his reputation, along with other children's stories and retellings. His writing is associated with the lively, whimsical style that was popular in British children's literature of the period.

Farrow died in 1919. Though he is not as widely known today as some of his contemporaries, his books still have appeal for readers interested in classic children's fantasy and the history of juvenile fiction.
