Oxford DNB online ed., 11 Mar. 2016 (William Gordon Stables, children's writer, was born at Aberchirder, Marnoch, Banffshire, on 21 May between 1837 and 1840; about 1875, he settled at Twyford, Berkshire, and occupied himself full-time in writing under the name Gordon Stables; although best remembered, along with G.A. Henty and G.M. Fenn, as a writer for boys, he was also a nature lover and concerned (perhaps obsessed) with health, as well as writing about cats and dogs; he drew upon his extensive sea travels for the background to his many boys' stories and a majority of these are about the sea; on the formation of the Caravan Club in 1907 he was elected vice-president; books include " Cruise of the land yacht Wanderer" and "The wife's guide to health and happiness"; he died at his house in Twyford, Berkshire, on 10 May 1910)
