Autorenporträt
Gilbert Parker was the pen name of Canadian author George Parker, 1st Baronet PC (23 November 1862 - 6 September 1932). He was born in Camden East, Addington, Ontario, and was the son of Captain Joseph Parker, R.A. In 1882, he became a teacher at the Ontario Institute for the Deaf and Dumb in Belleville, Ontario. Before that, he taught at the Marsh Hill and Bayside schools in Hastings County. His next stop was to teach at Trinity College. His trip to Australia in 1886 led him to work as a deputy editor for the Sydney Morning Herald for a while. He also did a lot of traveling in the Pacific, Europe, Asia, Egypt, the South Sea Islands, and later northern Canada. By the early 1990s, he was becoming better known in London as a romance fiction writer. The best of his books are the ones that were the first to focus on the past and daily lives of French Canadians. His lasting literary fame is built on the vivid and dramatic quality of his Canadian stories.
