Book Overview

Waifs and Their Authors is a book written by A.A. Hopkins that explores the lives and works of various authors who have been considered ""waifs"" in the literary world. The term ""waif"" refers to authors who have been overlooked or forgotten by the mainstream literary community, despite their significant contributions to literature. The book consists of a series of essays, each focusing on a different waif author.

He also delves into the personal lives of these authors, exploring the challenges they faced and the obstacles they overcame in order to pursue their passion for writing.
