Born in 1887 in Peterborough, Ontario, Willard Price moved to the United States by his fifth birthday. Inspired by a visitor to his home, he decided he wanted to be an explorer at a very early age. He received a doctorate from Columbia University and held a life long fascination for natural history, ethnology and exploration. He travelled to over 100 countries, making numerous expeditions for the American Museum of Natural History and the National Geographic Society, and many of these adventures were incorporated into his series of fourteen children’s adventure stories featuring Hal and Roger Hunt. During the 1930s, he spent a number of years living in Japan working as foreign correspondent for New York and London newspapers. He continued writing both non-fiction and the ‘Adventure’ series until his death in 1983. "Judging from the letters I have received from boys and girls around the world, I believe I have helped open to them the worlds of books and natural history." Wilard Price
