About the Author

H.C. Bunner (August 3, 1855 – May 11, 1896) was an American novelist and poet. He is known mainly for "Tower of Babel".
Bunner's works have been praised by librarians for its " technical dexterity, playfulness and smoothness of finish ". In 1886, he published a novel, "The Midge", followed in 1887 by "The Story of a New York House". But his best efforts in fiction were his short stories and sketches "Short Sixes" (1891), "More Short Sixes" (1894), "Made in France" (1893), "Zadoc Pine and Other Stories" (1891), "Love in Old Clothes and Other Stories" (1896), and "Jersey Street and Jersey Lane" (1896). His verses "Airs from Arcady and Elsewhere" (1884), containing the well-known poem, "The Way to A ready; Rowen" (1892); and "Poems" (1896), edited by his friend Brander Matthews, displaying a light play of imagination and a delicate workmanship. He also wrote clever vers de société and parodies. One of his several plays (usually written in collaboration), was "The Tower of Babel" (1883). His short story "Zenobia's Infidelity" was made into a feature film called Zenobia starring Harry Langdon and Oliver Hardy by the Hal Roach Studio in 1939.
