George Frederic Turner
b. 1876
Early-20th-century fiction from this little-known novelist leans toward character, emotion, and social entanglement rather than literary showiness. The surviving record is sparse, but his published work includes the novels Frost and Friendship (1907) and Gloria (1910).

About the author
Very little biographical information about this author could be confirmed from the sources I found beyond the bibliographic record that lists him as born in 1876. He appears to be a relatively obscure novelist whose life is much less documented than his books.
The clearest trace of his career comes from library and public-domain records. Those records identify George Frederic Turner, 1876- as the author of Frost and Friendship, published in 1907, and Gloria, published in 1910.
Because reliable personal details were scarce, it is safest to remember him through the fiction he left behind: novels from the early 1900s that have survived in library catalogs and digital archives, even as much of the story of the man himself has faded from view.
