About the author
Born in 1866 in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, he first worked as a newspaper reporter and editor before turning to fiction. That background shows in the brisk, readable style that helped his novels reach a broad audience in the United States.
He became especially famous for Graustark (1901), a bestselling romantic adventure that led to a long-running series, and for Brewster's Millions (1902), a comic novel that has been adapted many times for stage and screen. His work often mixed invented kingdoms, light satire, romance, and old-fashioned storytelling energy.
George Barr McCutcheon died in 1928, but his books remain part of the classic popular fiction of their era. He is often remembered as a writer who knew how to keep readers entertained, whether he was sending them to imaginary European courts or into the middle of a playful inheritance scheme.
