About the author

Born in Augusta, Montana, in December 1891, Victor A. Endersby was an American writer whose work included fiction as well as essays and commentary. Bibliographic records for his books list him as Victor Arthur Endersby, and public-domain listings connect him with the 1891–1988 lifespan commonly used in library catalogs.

Beyond fiction, he was active in the Theosophical movement. Sources describe him as an editor of Theosophical Notes, a contributor to Theosophy, and a co-founder of the magazine Manas with Henry Geiger in 1948. That side of his career suggests a writer deeply interested in ideas, ethics, and the inner life as much as in narrative itself.

For audiobook listeners, Endersby is likely most memorable as the author of Disowned, a novel that has remained accessible through public-domain archives. His background in both literature and philosophical journalism gives his work a thoughtful, distinctive tone.
