by Richard King
Richard King Huskinson was an English author born in 1879 and died in 1947. Library and catalog records identify him as the writer of Some Confessions of an Average Man (1923), and other records connect him with With Silent Friends and related titles published in the early decades of the 20th century.
He also appears to have published under the shorter name Richard King, which helps explain why his books are sometimes listed under more than one form of his name. The titles linked with him suggest a writer drawn to personal reflection, moral questions, and the quieter side of daily life rather than plot-heavy fiction.
Reliable biographical detail beyond his dates and bibliography is limited in the sources readily available online, so much of his life remains obscure. Even so, the surviving records show a small but distinctive body of contemplative writing that has continued to circulate through library collections and reprints.
