About the author

Born in Tippecanoe County, Indiana, in 1866, George Barr McCutcheon became an American novelist and playwright whose books reached a huge audience in the early 1900s. He is especially remembered for Graustark and its sequels, a series of romantic adventure novels set in a fictional Eastern European kingdom.

He also wrote Brewster's Millions, a comic fantasy that proved even more durable, inspiring stage and film adaptations long after its publication. Reference works describe him as a prolific popular author, and archival collections note that he produced more than 40 novels along with plays, shorter fiction, and essays.

McCutcheon died in New York in 1928, but his reputation has lasted through the afterlife of his stories: the Graustark books remain a signature example of Ruritanian romance, while Brewster's Millions keeps introducing new readers and viewers to his playful imagination.
