About the author
Born Warren Ives Bradley in Bristol, Connecticut, on March 27, 1847, he wrote for young readers under the name Glance Gaylord. Reliable archival and reference sources identify him as an American children's author, and they note that he died in Bristol on June 15, 1868.
Despite his very short life, he was notably productive. Yale's archival description says he wrote fifteen published books, along with articles for papers and magazines, showing how active he was as a writer while still very young.
Today he is remembered mainly through those juvenile stories and surviving editions of books such as Culm Rock and Mr. Pendleton's Cup. I couldn't confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
