Alter Ego: A Tale

Alter Ego: A Tale

by W. W. (William Wesley) Walker

About the author

Published as Rev. W. W. Walker, William Wesley Walker wrote By Northern Lakes: Reminiscences of Life in Ontario Mission Fields in 1896, a firsthand account of work in Ontario mission fields. He later published fiction including Alter Ego: A Tale in 1907, and that book also lists other works such as Occident and Orient, Sabre Thrusts at Freethought, and Plain Talks on Health and Morals, Part II.

The surviving records found for him consistently connect him with Ontario and Toronto, and his writing suggests a career shaped by ministry as much as by literature. His books combine religious conviction with narrative energy, using memoir, argument, and fiction to explore belief, conduct, and social life.
