George Griffith was born in 1857 in Plymouth England. His father, a cleric, had little money at his death, but had provided young George with access to his extensive library, which included the fantastic works of Jules Verne. On retiring as a seaman, he returned to England and spent several years working as a teacher he began writing for the local newspaper. Griffith is considered "the first professional science fiction writer" because he produced story after story, on demand, for his editors and publishers.
