Autorenporträt

Frank Richard Stockton (1834-1902) was an American writer and humorist, renowned for his captivating fairy tales and fantastical stories which enthralled both children and adult audiences of his time. His narrative style often carried a whimsical yet sardonic tone, a trademark that made his works both delightful and thought-provoking. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Stockton worked for years in journalism before focusing on writing and illustrating children's tales and other fictional works. Stockton's literary career spans numerous tales, but one of his notable late works is 'Pomona's Travels' (1894), a charmingly imaginative sequel to his earlier book 'Rudder Grange'. The book chronicles the whimsical European adventures of previously introduced characters of 'Rudder Grange' through the perspective of Pomona, a distinctly American character with humorous misconceptions and quaint notions about the Old World. While Stockton's most famous tale remains 'The Lady, or the Tiger?' (1882), which left its readers with an unresolved ethical dilemma, he has authored a diverse range of literature; his works include the whimsical 'Ting-a-ling' tales and the innovative adventure novel 'The Adventures of Captain Horn' (1895). Stockton's influence has been recognized posthumously, with his writings continuing to be appreciated for their innovative approach and entertaining qualities.
