About the author

Born in New Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, on July 22, 1867, Robert Neilson Stephens was an American novelist, playwright, and journalist. He became known for energetic historical romances and adventure stories, often set in vivid past eras and written with a strong sense of movement and drama.

His best-known title is An Enemy to the King, which appeared both as a play and as a novel. He also wrote other historical adventures that kept his name popular with readers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, blending court intrigue, danger, and romance in a style that still feels brisk and entertaining.

Stephens married Maude Helfenstein in 1889. After a period of ill health, he went to England in 1899 and died there on January 20, 1906, in Avon-by-the-Sea, leaving behind a body of work closely linked with the classic spirit of historical storytelling.
