George Weston

Born in 1880, George Weston was a British-born author whose family later emigrated to the United States. He built a long writing career in magazines, beginning in the early 1900s and continuing into the 1940s, and became known for fiction that was lively, accessible, and often imaginative.

Weston published stories in major periodicals including Everybody's Magazine, Harper's Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's, and Ladies' Home Journal. Alongside his short fiction, he wrote novels such as Mary Minds Her Business, The Apple-Tree Girl, and The American Marquis.

Some reference works especially note his fantasy and proto-science-fiction side, while public-domain catalogs show the broader range of his popular fiction. He died in 1965, leaving behind a body of work that captures the tone of mainstream magazine storytelling in the first half of the twentieth century.
