Ottwell Binns (1872 - 1935) was a British novelist and minister (non-conforming, not of the Church of England). Binns was a prolific author, publishing many novels of adventure and mystery, from 1917 to 1939. His publisher in Britain was Ward Lock. Though he died in 1935, Ward Lock continued to publish novels under his name until 1939. His novel "A Mating in the Wild" was published in the U.S. in 1920 by Alfred A. Knopf and the A.L. Burt Company.
Binns also published novels with Ward Lock under the pseudonym of Ben Bolt; these were similar in subject matter and treatment to the novels published under his own name. His stories were set in many locations, including Britain and the European continent, Africa, Asia, the South Pacific, the Caribbean and Canada, particularly the Yukon. His novels always feature a courageous, resourceful hero and a love interest, and there is an emphasis on action and narrow escapes from danger.
