Autor

Ernest Richard Suffling (born in the second half of the 19th century, with dates of birth and death remaining somewhat obscure) was a British author and an enthusiastic advocate of the great outdoors. He is best known for his engaging work 'Jethou; or, Crusoe Life in the Channel Isles' in which he recounts the Robinson Crusoe-like experiences on one of the Channel Islands. Suffling's narrative is a rich tapestry, interwoven with the natural beauty of the island landscape, and offers insights into the self-sufficient lifestyle reminiscent of Defoe's famed fictional survivor. While he was not solely a writer of adventure tales, Ernest R. Suffling's oeuvre spanned various genres inclusive of travel, local history, and folklore. His literary style often evoked a sense of romanticism towards English landscapes and traditions, successfully capturing the essence of the locales he described. As such, his work did not merely dwell in the realms of fiction but served to document and celebrate the cultural heritage of the English countryside and its bygone eras. Though he may not be as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Suffling's contributions offer valuable snapshots of late Victorian and Edwardian England through his detailed and affectionate prose.
