1890–1952
Best known for lively children's books and story collections, this early 20th-century writer helped bring Arthurian legend, animal tales, and adventure stories to young readers. His work has stayed in circulation through reprints and digital editions, keeping a once-familiar voice of juvenile fiction accessible today.

Samuel E. Lowe was an American writer of children's books whose published works include In the Court of King Arthur, Father Bear and Bobby Bear, Hazel Squirrel and Other Stories, and Fifty Famous Stories. Library catalogs and public-domain listings identify him as Samuel Edward Lowe and date him to 1890–1952.
His books were aimed at young readers and often drew on adventure, folklore, and animal storytelling. In the Court of King Arthur, first published in the early 20th century and later reissued, is especially well known for introducing children to the world of Camelot in a simple, readable style.
Some records also connect his name with Camp Fire Girls fiction and other popular juvenile series of the period. Reliable biographical detail beyond his publications appears to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so his surviving reputation rests mainly on the stories themselves and their long afterlife in libraries, reprints, and online archives.
