J. A. (John Arnold) Nicklin

John Arnold Nicklin (1871–1917) was a Welsh-born writer, poet, and teacher. Sources describe him as being born in Montgomeryshire, educated at Shrewsbury School, and later studying Classics at St John's College, Cambridge.

After university, he taught at Liverpool College and also wrote for newspapers including the Daily Chronicle and the Tribune. His writing ranged from poetry to literary and travel-inspired work, showing a strong interest in English literature and place.

He is most closely associated with Dickens-Land (1911), a book that explores the real-world settings connected with Charles Dickens. Other works linked to him include Secret Nights, Verses, and the wartime collection And they went to the war: poems.
