Autorenporträt
Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was a prolific American writer predominantly recognized for her mystery novels, children's literature, and humorous verse. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, Wells discovered her passion for literature at an early age. Throughout her career, she penned well over one hundred books, showcasing a remarkable versatility across genres, with a particular penchant for clever wordplay and satire (American Women Writers: A Critical Reference Guide from Colonial Times to the Present). Among her acclaimed works, 'The Re-echo Club' is a wry, satirical piece that exemplifies her literary style, a parody that caters to her fascination with wit and humor while engaging an audience appreciative of intellectual paronomasia. Wells' contributions to the literary canon extend beyond this playful pastiche, with series like the Fleming Stone detective stories affirming her as a key figure in the development of the American mystery genre. Her legacy is marked by a prolific output that has left a lasting impression on literature, with an ongoing influence that is worth studying for both its historic merit and its enduring charm (Masterpieces of Women's Literature). Wells passed away in 1942, leaving behind a treasure trove of works that continue to be celebrated by readers who delight in her literary craftsmanship.
