Biography:
FRANCIS, Mr. (fl 1792)
The author of The Enchanted Wood is identified by contemporary sources as "Mr. Francis," usually with some comment on his youth, such as "a very juvenile author." The language probably comes from the prefatory note in the published work, which describes it as a "juvenile" work written at the age of 15, and thanks the performers for their help converting it from a dramatic poem to a piece suitable for the stage. HL attributes it to Samuel L. Francis--himself an unknown--on what basis is not clear. HJ
