About the author

Vaughan, Arthur Owen is an author about whom relatively little public information is currently available; details such as his nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded, and the library holds only one work by him. His known representative work is Old Hendrik's Tales, which, judging from its title and usual classification, is generally regarded as a narrative work drawing on folk tales or legends, carrying an oral-tradition flavor and local color. Because verifiable material is very scarce, it is difficult to give a complete picture of his writing career, and it cannot be confirmed whether he wrote other books or what profession he followed over the long term. On the available evidence, this work itself is the main route by which readers come to know the author; it has a certain recognizability among readers of related subjects and can serve as an entry point for understanding his narrative interests, while more detailed biographical and creative background remains to be discovered through further materials.
