Book Description
Here lies a collection of some of Grant Allen's lesserknown stories, many of which have not been reprinted since the original 19th century publications. They have remained largely unread since then. They cover a wide range of genres from detective fiction and romance, to science fiction, each story depicting Victorian British society with a humour and wit which has stood the test of time. Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen was a prolific and versatile writer. An Oxford graduate, Allen had a gift for writing and earned himself quite a reputation, on anything from physics and botany, to interior design and travel. During his career in writing fiction, which he frequently claimed he stumbled into, he wrote more than two hundred short stories, along with numerous novels and poetry. His works were published in some of the biggest magazines of the time, including the Cornhill and Belgravia. Despite an initially hostile attitude toward the medium, Allen became truly involved with much of his fiction.

Book Description
Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen was born on February 24th, 1848 at Alwington, near Kingston, Canada West (now part of Ontario). Home schooled until 13 when his family moved to England, Grant was to become a highly regarded science writer who branched out to a fiction career and became enormously popular. His work helped propel several genres of fiction and whilst his career was short it was enormously productive. Grant's scientific background enabled him to root much of his work in a plausibility that was denied to others. He had little fear in challenging a society that treated women as second class citizens and creating best sellers from such works. On October 25th 1899 Grant Allen died at his home in Hindhead, Haslemere, Surrey, England. He died just before finishing Hilda Wade. The novel's final episode, which he dictated to his friend, doctor and neighbour Sir Arthur Conan Doyle from his bed appeared under the appropriate title, The Episode of the Dead Man Who Spoke in 1900.
