Robert Barr (1849-1912) was a British-Canadian novelist and short story writer, well known for his detective fiction. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Barr emigrated with his family to Canada at the age of four and spent much of his early life there. He ventured into teaching before turning to journalism and eventually fiction writing. Barr's literary style is often characterized by his wry humor and sharp wit, traits that garnered both critical and popular acclaim during his career.
