About the author
Born in Rochdale, Lancashire, on February 11, 1872, he built a dual career as both a minister and a novelist. Sources describe him as a British Unitarian minister who also wrote large amounts of popular fiction, especially adventures and mysteries.
He became known for energetic genre storytelling and also wrote under the pseudonym Ben Bolt. Although much of his reputation rests on adventure and detective-style fiction, he is also remembered for Dan Yeo; Or, The Island of the Lost (1929), a science-fiction or lost-world novel.
He died on November 27, 1935, in Penzance, Cornwall. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources I could access here, so a profile image is not included.
