About the author
Walter Cox Green was an American author born in 1866. Surviving catalog records and digitized editions link him most clearly with The Book of Good Manners: A Guide to Polite Usage for All Social Functions, published in 1922, along with related etiquette reference works.
His books suggest a writer focused on practical social behavior rather than fiction, offering guidance on introductions, correspondence, visits, dinners, and other formal customs of the period. He is also credited in library and bookseller records with other compiled or reference-style works.
Reliable biographical detail beyond his birth year is limited in the sources I could confirm, so much of his personal life remains unclear. What does remain visible is the purpose of his writing: to make the complicated rules of polite society feel organized and usable for ordinary readers.
