Horace Atkisson Wade,
from Current Opinion
April 1920 |
In
Lapham's Quarterly Portland State University's Paul Collins provides the
fascinating but sad tale of
Barbara Newhall Follett, who published
The House without Windows (Knopf, 1927) at age twelve to wide acclaim. In the piece Collins also mentions Horace Atkisson Wade, who published a 30,000-word thriller,
In the Shadow of Great Peril (1920), at age eleven. Go
here for an article on Wade, who apparently followed up the thriller with a few more books and became involved with horse racing.
