Samuel E. (Samuel Edward) Lowe

Samuel E. Lowe was an American author of children’s books whose work appeared in the 1910s and 1920s. Reliable catalog and ebook sources connect him with titles including In the Court of King Arthur, Hazel Squirrel and Other Stories, Father Bear and Bobby Bear, The Campfire Girls at Work, and Fifty Famous Stories.

His fiction and story collections were written for younger readers and often drew on classic adventure, folklore, and talking-animal storytelling. In the Court of King Arthur places a young page in the world of Camelot, while Hazel Squirrel and Other Stories shows his lighter, more playful side.

Some bookseller and bibliographic sources also describe him as an early Whitman Publishing employee who rose to become president and later started the Samuel E. Lowe Company. Because the available sources are uneven on personal details, his published work remains the clearest picture of his legacy: entertaining, straightforward books created for children and family reading.
