George A. Warren

George A. Warren was a pen name used by St. George Henry Rathborne (1854–1938), a prolific American writer of popular fiction. He wrote during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially for young readers who loved action, suspense, and outdoor adventure.

Many of his books center on Boy Scouts, campers, hunters, and amateur detectives, including titles in The Banner Boy Scouts series. The stories were designed to be brisk and entertaining, with plenty of danger, problem-solving, and loyalty between friends.

Rathborne also wrote under other names, and his work belongs to the era of inexpensive adventure fiction made for a wide audience. Today, his books offer a window into the values and storytelling style of early juvenile series fiction in America.
