L. L. (Leopold L.) Flood

L. L. Flood, identified in library records as Leopold L. Flood, was born in 1881. Reliable online catalog and ebook sources confirm him as a coauthor of Bright-Wits, Prince of Mogadore, a whimsical adventure first associated with the early 1900s and later preserved by Project Gutenberg and other public-domain collections.

Very little biographical information appears to have survived in easily verifiable sources, so most attention stays on the book itself rather than on the author’s life. That makes Flood one of those writers who is remembered less through a detailed public biography and more through a single enduring work that blends fairy-tale storytelling, riddles, and lighthearted fantasy.

Because dependable sources are sparse, it is safest to say that Flood remains a somewhat obscure figure in literary history. Even so, the continued availability of Bright-Wits, Prince of Mogadore has helped keep his name in circulation for modern readers who enjoy rediscovered children's fantasy and public-domain curiosities.
