Autor

The American author Arthur Benjamin Reeve was born on October 15, 1880, and died on August 9, 1936. He is best known for writing 18 mystery books about Professor Craig Kennedy, who is sometimes called "The American Sherlock Holmes," and his newspaper reporter sidekick Walter Jameson, who is a lot like Dr. Watson. Most people know Reeve for the 82 Craig Kennedy stories that were in Cosmopolitan magazine from 1910 to 1918. These were put together in a book, and in the third collection, the short stories were released as a series of books. The 12-volume collection Craig Kennedy Stories came out in 1918. It reprinted all of Reeve's books up to that point in a way that made them look like a set. Reeve was born in Brooklyn and went to Princeton and New York Law School. Aside from writing the first Craig Kennedy story in 1911, he worked as an editor and reporter. He grew up in Brooklyn and spent most of his working life at different places near Long Island Sound. In 1932, he moved to Trenton, New Jersey, to be closer to Princeton, where he went to school. It was 1936 when he died in Trenton.
