Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920) was an American children's literature author celebrated for his whimsical and imaginative stories, a notable contributor to the Golden Age of children's literature. Before embarking on his literary career, Carryl was a successful businessman, but it is his work as a wordsmith that has enshrined his legacy. He infused his writing with a distinctive blend of nonsense and fantasy that has drawn comparisons to the works of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. His most famous work, 'The Admiral's Caravan' (1891), exemplifies this literary style, taking young readers on a fantastical journey with Dorothy and her fantastical companions. Carryl's creative prowess extended beyond prose into poetry, as he demonstrated in 'Davy and the Goblin' (1884) and 'Robinson Crusoe's Story' (1896), which further showcased his talent for imbuing classical narrative forms with a unique and playful twist. Although not as widely recognized as some of his contemporaries, Carryl's contributions to children's literature are appreciated for their innovation and charm, ensuring his place within the pantheon of cherished nineteenth-century children's authors.
