Arthur Thomas Quiller Couch

Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch, often published as Q, was a British writer, critic, editor, and scholar. Adventures in Criticism, On the Art of Reading, The White Wolf and Other Fireside Tales, The Ship of Stars, The Laird's Luck, and The Westcotes show his range across literary essays, fiction, storytelling, and reflections on reading.

For English-language readers, Quiller-Couch is important both as a creative writer and as a voice in literary culture. His criticism values clarity, style, tradition, and the pleasures of attentive reading. Readers interested in English prose, literary criticism, Cornish settings, short fiction, and early twentieth-century book culture will find a learned and companionable author.
