Alter Ego: A Tale

by W. W. (William Wesley) Walker

About the author

W. W. Walker, identified in library and public-domain records as William Wesley Walker (1858–1945), was a Canadian author and minister. Surviving catalog records show that he published By Northern Lakes: Reminiscences of Life in Ontario Mission Fields in Toronto in 1896, and that the book was issued under the name Rev. W. W. Walker.

He also wrote fiction. Project Gutenberg records Alter Ego: A Tale under his full name and dates, describing a novel centered on church life, social questions, and moral conflict in a Canadian setting. Taken together, the available records suggest a writer whose books drew closely on religious work, everyday community experience, and life in Ontario.

Reliable biographical detail beyond those publication records is limited in the sources I could confirm here, so a fuller personal sketch is hard to verify with confidence. Still, the record that remains points to a writer interested in mission work, faith, and the human stories growing out of Canadian religious life.
