About the author
Graham Morse Dean (1904–1974) was an American author, journalist, and newspaper editor, born in Iowa City and died in Porterville, California. He is best known for adventure and mystery novels for young readers, with plots that emphasize action and exploration and often center on aviation, detective work, and treasure hunting. Four of his works are included in this collection. His representative creations include the flying-reporter Tim Murphy series, such as Daring Wings, The Sky Trail, and The Treasure Hunt of the S-18, as well as the "Agent Nine" series about federal agents, whose first book, Agent Nine Solves His First Case, tells of the daring exploits of the G Men. He also wrote several Western-themed works. Because public information is limited, few details of his life are recorded; nevertheless, his choice of subjects and narrative style show that his writing appealed to young readers of his time and holds a place among inspirational coming-of-age works.
