Autorenporträt

Frank R. Stockton (1834-1902) was an American novelist and short story writer who became popular during the late nineteenth century. Born in Philadelphia to religious parents, writing wasn't viewed as a respectable or sustainable career. Despite objections, Stockton worked as a wood engraver before joining a local newspaper. He also worked at several magazines including Hearth and Home. Stockton became known for his children's stories such as Ting-a-Ling Tales (1870) and The Floating Prince (1881). His most famous title, The Lady, or the Tiger?, is often the lead entry in his short story collections.
