A NOTE ON THE AUTHOR OF
MESSER MARCO POLO
So Celtic in feeling and atmosphere are the stories of
Donn Byrne that many of his devotees have come to
believe that he never lived anywhere but in Ireland.
Actually, Donn Byrne was born in New York City.Shortly
after his birth, however, his parents took him back to the
land of his forefathers. There he was educated and came
to know the people of whom he wrote so magically. At
Dublin University his love for the Irish language and for a
good fight won him many prizes,first as a writer in Gaelic
and second as the Universitys lightweight boxing
champion. After continuing his studies at the Sorbonne
and the University of Leipzig, he returned to the United
States, where, in 1911,he married and established a home
in Brooklyn Heights. He earned his living, while trying
to write short stories, as an editor of dictionaries.Soon his
tales began to attract attention and he added to his

collection of boxing prizes many others won in short-story
contests. When MESSER MARCO POLO appeared in
1921 his reputation in the literary world was firmly
established. Thereafter, whatever he wrote was hailed
enthusiastically by his ever-growing public, until 1928,
when his tragic death in an automobile accident cut short
the career of one of Americas best-loved story-tellers.
