Discussion
I thought I was the only one who was really "hooked" on Frank R. Stockton (1834-1902) until yesterday when I got information about discussions on the internet. I feel Stockton has a great deal to offer our modern culture--in so many ways--about war, love for all kinds of people, history, "pixie" tongue-in-cheek humor, and more. I think his stories can be read aloud and listened to with joy. I have read a number of his stories onto cassette tapes. I would welcome hearing from any interested persons about why they like Stockton. Joe 5/30/03

I'm reading Kate Bonnet (available from gutenberg.org if you print it yourself, though trying to find information on the author and date of publishing, I saw it listed through Amazon at used book dealers). My side note is that reading the book I found at least the light-hearted tone of the movie "Pirates of the Carribean", though not the same story and i like his books and his face. -- Susan 4-17-06

His middle name is Richard, should someone include it? Nancy.Gallant 23:01, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Pretty meager
I guess a bunch of stuff had to be reverted due to copyvio. Unfortunately it got reverted back to a vandalized version that talked about a fictitious career as a hot-dog eater. Also unfortunately it's never revived. I might try to expand later.--T. Anthony (talk) 21:07, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

father of American children's fantasy?
Lynne Vallon (http://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth=0&type=summary&url=/journals/lion_and_the_unicorn/v021/21.3br_rahn.html) says that Suzanne Rahn (in Rediscoveries in Children's Literature) credits Stockton with founding America's kids' fantasy. Can some-one look at Rahn and check this and incorporate it if it is the case?Kdammers (talk) 04:38, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
