The Purple Parasol (Esprios Classics)

George Barr McCutcheon (July 26, 1866 - October 23, 1928) was an American popular novelist and playwright. His best known works include a series of novels set in Graustark, a fictional East European country, and the novel Brewster''s Millions, which was adapted into a play and several films. Although McCutcheon became famous for the Graustark series, he disliked the characterization of being a Romantic and preferred to be identified with his playwriting. His works include: Castle Craneycrow (1902), The Sherrods (1903), The Day of the Dog (1904), Nedra (1905), Cowardice Court (1906), The Flyers (1907), Viola Gwyn (1922), and Kindling and Ashes (1926).
