Autorenporträt
J. Storer Clouston, born in Cumberland, England, on May 23, 1870, and deceased on April 23, 1944, was a British novelist and historian noted for his wit and lively storytelling. Graduating from Edinburgh University, Clouston practiced as a solicitor before pivoting to literature. His narrative style often weaved humor and irony, which became hallmarks of his numerous novels, short stories, and historical works. Clouston gained popularity with 'The Lunatic at Large' series, which showcases his flair for combining farce with adventure. 'The Adventures of M. D'Haricot' is one of Clouston's lighthearted novels that feature the absurd misadventures of its French protagonist, deftly capturing Clouston's comedic talents and his ability to satirize European mores. His legacy lies in his contribution to early 20th-century English literature, particularly in the genre of humorous fiction. Though not as widely recognized today, Clouston's work remains a testament to the enduring power of whimsy and satire in storytelling.
