About the author

Born on September 7, 1876, Percy Keese Fitzhugh was an American author who wrote nearly 100 books for children and young adults. He is most closely associated with stories inspired by the early Boy Scout movement, and many of his books are connected to the fictional town of Bridgeboro, New Jersey.

Fitzhugh became especially well known for recurring characters such as Tom Slade, Pee-wee Harris, and Roy Blakeley. His stories mixed humor, action, and loyalty, giving young readers fast-moving adventures built around camp life, friendship, and resourcefulness.

He died on July 5, 1950. Although he is less widely remembered today than some of his contemporaries, his books remain part of the history of American children's series fiction and still attract readers interested in classic scouting and adventure tales.
