About the author

Hans Arnold was a German author whose dates are usually given as 1850–1927. Surviving catalog records connect him with books for younger readers, including Fritz auf Ferien, showing that he was active in print during the late 1800s.

Information about his personal life and career is limited in the sources I could confirm, which suggests he is one of many once-published authors whose books outlasted the documentation around them. Even so, the record of his publications points to a place in the long tradition of German-language children's and family reading.

Because reliable biographical sources appear to be sparse, it is safest to keep the outline simple: a German writer of the period, remembered today mainly through library and book-history records rather than detailed modern biographies.
