Frank Richard Stockton was an American writer renowned for his short stories and works that often infused humor with profound insight. His background in engineering and his own experiences with societal expectations contributed to a unique narrative voice that challenged conventional norms.

I highly recommend "The Associate Hermits" to readers who appreciate a blend of humor and introspection.
