Wells Hawks
Best remembered for a small body of early 20th-century fiction, this little-known writer published lively stories for young readers and magazines. The surviving record is thin, which only adds to the curiosity around the work that remains easy to find today.

Red Wagon Stories; or, Tales Told Under the Tent

About the author
Wells Hawks was an American writer associated with the early 1900s. Public-domain library records confirm at least one book, Red Wagon Stories; or, Tales Told Under the Tent, and catalog listings also connect the name to other period fiction from the same era.
Very little biographical information is readily documented in major public sources, so it is best to treat Wells Hawks as an obscure author whose reputation now rests mainly on preserved texts rather than a well-recorded personal history. That makes the work itself the main attraction: short, readable storytelling from a period style that modern listeners may find charming and distinctive.
