H. N. (Horatio Nelson) Crellin

Horatio Nelson Crellin was an English writer born on March 26, 1841, and he died on December 10, 1912. Reference works and library listings identify him as H. N. Crellin, with Al Arawiyah recorded as one of his alternate names.

He is best remembered for works including Tales of the Caliph and Romances of the Old Seraglio, books that draw on courtly drama, adventure, and imagined Middle Eastern settings. Modern catalog and public-domain listings show that his fiction has continued to circulate long after his lifetime, especially through digital libraries and reprints.

There does not seem to be a widely available, clearly verified portrait of Crellin on the sources I could confirm here, so no author image is included.
