A Canadian/British writer of novels and short stories (Wikipedia). Born in Scotland, he went with his parents to Canada when he was four, taught and did some writing in Canada until he emigrated to England in 1881 where he did most of his writing and was associated with, inter alia, Jerome K. Jerome and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
