Frederick Ignatius Cowles was born in 1900 in Cambridge, England.

This unfamiliar name is one of the gems of English supernatural fiction as well as several other works of travelogues, history, folklore, and children's books.

When his supernatural short stories, and some are very short indeed, were first published they were compared to the works of M R James and EF Benson, yet unlike those two authors he fell, unfairly, into obscurity.

In all he wrote perhaps 60 short stories with weird and supernatural themes.

Frederick Cowles died in 1948 although some accounts offer that it was 1949.
