Biography

Rutley was born in Lewisham, London, England in 1888. He began writing in the 1920s specializing in stories for young boys. The plots of his stories are centred around a school that is under some sort of threat. In The Box of St. Bidolph's, the school land is claimed by a wealthy landowner. Three senior boys set out to prove him wrong.[1] In the 1930s he started writing books in the science and fantasy genre. For example he wrote several books about inventions created for sinister purposes such as The Exploding Ray (1945), Crimson Rust (1946), and Valley of Doom (1947).[2]
