About the author

Very little confidently sourced biographical information is readily available about Lawrence Daniel Fogg. Public book records and library-style listings confirm him as the author of The Asbestos Society of Sinners, Detailing the Diversions of Dives and Others on the Playground of Pluto (1906), a title notable for its unusual style and memorable name.

Modern catalog and reader databases suggest that his work has continued to circulate in reprint and archival form, even though detailed personal information about his life appears hard to verify. Because reliable biographical sources are limited, it is safest to remember him primarily through the surviving record of his writing rather than through a fully documented life story.
