About the author
George A. Kyle, also listed as George Alexander Kyle, was an American author born in 1872. Reliable catalog and ebook records connected with his work identify him in that form, and show that his writing reached print in the early 1900s.
His best-known fiction title appears to be The Morning Glory Club, which is preserved through Project Gutenberg and library catalogs. Another early work, A Letter from Home, was published in 1903, showing that he was active as a writer by the start of the twentieth century.
Kyle also wrote The eighteen fifties: being a brief account of School Street, the Province House and the Boston Five Cents Savings Bank, published in 1926. That later book points to an interest in Boston history as well as storytelling, giving his small body of surviving work a mix of literary and local-historical appeal.
