About the author
Huan Mee was a joint pseudonym used by the British brothers Charles H. Mansfield (1864–1930) and Walter E. Mansfield (1870–1916). Both came from a journalistic family, and surviving reference sources link the name to a run of fiction that appeared around the turn of the twentieth century.
Their work includes stories such as A Diplomatic Woman and The Russian Cipher, and modern readers still encounter the name through reprints of their mystery, horror, and adventure tales. The writing has the quick movement and cliffhanger energy you would expect from authors shaped by newspaper and magazine culture.
Although detailed biographical information under the Huan Mee name is limited, the pseudonym remains a memorable part of popular Victorian and Edwardian genre fiction. For listeners who enjoy forgotten thrillers, strange tales, and early spy stories, Huan Mee offers a glimpse into a brisk, entertaining corner of literary history.
