Fred M. White - Gipsy Tales: "He spoke half with a sob, half with a defiant growl"

Meer over het boek

The life of Fred Merrick White, born in 1859, reflects a dramatic shift from aspiring solicitor to prolific author. After his father's imprisonment in the late 1880s, White turned to writing, achieving success as a journalist and novelist by 1891. His imaginative storytelling often incorporated scientific elements and was influenced by the tumult of World War I, particularly in works like The Seed of Empire. White's later years were spent in Devon, where he continued to write until his death in 1935, leaving behind a legacy of adventure and social commentary.
