Autorenporträt
Robert Leighton was a Scottish journalist, editor, and author known for his contributions to boys' fiction. Born on June 5, 1858, in Ayr, United Kingdom, he gained recognition for his work in juvenile magazines, particularly through his role as editor of Young Folks. His career in the magazine industry also led to his meeting his future wife, Marie Connor, a prominent author in her own right. Leighton became particularly well-regarded for his expertise on dogs and their care, producing several works dedicated to the subject. Over the years, his knowledge of animals expanded, and he wrote extensively on dog training and management. Leighton's legacy is also linked to his literary family, as he had two children, Roland and Clare Leighton. His son, Roland, became known for his own literary endeavors, although his life was tragically cut short during World War I. Robert Leighton passed away on May 11, 1934, at the age of 75 in Bishop's Stortford, United Kingdom. His work remains influential, especially in the genre of boys' fiction and animal care literature.
