John Henry Goldfrap (1879–1917) was an English-born journalist and author who became a key participant in the "American series phenomenon" of the early twentieth century. Writing primarily for a young male audience, Goldfrap specialized in boys' adventure and series books during a booming era for serialized juvenile fiction.\n\nThroughout his literary career, Goldfrap chose to publish his books exclusively under pseudonyms, obscuring his direct connection to his creative output. Alongside his work as a novelist, he maintained his career as a journalist until his death on November 21, 1917.
