Richard Bonner was an American author associated with early 20th-century boys' adventure and science-fiction stories. Reliable bibliographic sources link his name to works such as The Boy Inventors' Radio Telephone, and reference works on speculative fiction note that very little confirmed biographical information about him has survived.
Because so little is firmly documented, the clearest picture of his career comes from his books themselves: energetic tales of invention, exploration, and technological wonder written for young readers. His work reflects the excitement that new machines and scientific ideas held for popular fiction of the period.
