W. A. (William Albert) Frisbie

Born in Danbury, Connecticut, in 1867, William Albert Frisbie wrote under the name W. A. Frisbie. Available catalog and library records consistently link him with The Pirate Frog, and Other Tales, a 1901 collection of verse and stories for children.

His work has been described as stories in rhyme for children, with some satirical rhymes written for adult readers as well. That mix suggests a writer who enjoyed wit, rhythm, and a playful voice across different audiences.

Frisbie died in 1941, and records place his burial in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While detailed biographical information appears to be limited in the sources available online, his surviving books still offer a glimpse of a cheerful, imaginative style that suits read-aloud listening especially well.
