Autorenporträt

Ruel Perley Smith was a novelist and newspaper editor, best known for his boys' adventure novels, particularly the Rival Camper series. Born in 1869 in Bangor, Maine, Smith was drawn to writing early in life, focusing on tales of youthful exploration and outdoor adventure. His work gained prominence in the first decade of the 20th century when his books were published by L.C. Page & Co. of Boston. The Rival Camper series, a collection of stories about two boys embarking on exciting outdoor adventures, became one of his most popular works, and Smith's legacy in children's literature is often associated with this series. He wrote engaging, action-packed stories that captured the imaginations of young readers. Smith was married to Ellen M. Cyr Smith, and his career was shaped by his deep connection to outdoor activities and youthful curiosity. He worked as a newspaper editor, further enhancing his literary career. Smith passed away in 1937 at the age of 68, but his work continues to be appreciated for its adventurous spirit and timeless appeal in children's literature.
