A popular English author of considerable repute in his day, Ernest Bramah (1868–1942) published twenty-one books and numerous short stories. His science fiction was compared to the works of H. G. Wells, his detective stories with Conan Doyle's, and his humorous novels with those of Jerome K. Jerome. Bramah was also famed for his traditional tales of Chinese literature.
