The Story:Her Trials and Troubles: Her Adventures and Misadventures: And Where They Brought Her is a lost race tale climaxing in the discovery of a secret location occupied by Incans. The Author:Pseudonym of UK lay figure in the Congregationalist Church, poet, editor and author William Arthur Dunkerley (1852-1941). Many of his works – some of them now-unread fantasies – served to advance his religious convictions. (SFE) In February 1892 Robert Barr and Dunkerley founded The Idler, a monthly “general interest magazine, one of the first to appear following the enthusiastic reception of The Strand, but not a slavish imitation.” Barr and Dunkerley/Oxenham both contributed as writers. The editors were Barr and Jerome K. Jerome initially. (wiki) Related
