Earl Derr Biggers (1884-1933) was an American writer known for his crime fiction novels, particularly the Charlie Chan series. He studied at Harvard University and preferred the works of Rudyard Kipling and Richard Harding Davis over what was deemed classic literature of his time. Biggers was initially hired by the Boston Traveler to write a daily humor column, later becoming their drama critic. It was during this time that he met his future wife, Elanor Ladd, who significantly influenced his writing. He published his first novel, Seven Keys to Baldpate, in 1913.
