- MONTGOMERY, Frances Trego
(1858-1925)
US writer, mostly of books for children, whose Electric Elephant sequence - The Wonderful Electric Elephant (1903) and On a Lark to the Planets (1904) - describes in a DIME-NOVEL manner the adventures of a young man who inherits a hollow mechanical elephant after the apparent death of the old man who owned it. With a girlfriend (they later marry), he frolics across the USA and, in the second volume, around the Solar System, which is described in terms appropriate to astrology. The old manthen reappears and takes them on a guided tour of the Milky Way.
