Promised I’d do the next one I got right, so I’ll set up a new thread.

I may need to give up Diplomacy, 20 Questions appears to be my true calling.

Would the written works be intended for children?
Not specifically, no. That is, he is certianly not primarily known as a "children's author", but older children might be able to enjoy some of his work. I started reading some of his works when I was about 14, but I was a clever little fucker.
this should be looked at too, but probably as more of 'does the thing i want to guess work here'

it's a british writer who died post 1900 who did most of his writing pre 1939, which is like, a small range, especially with what's already there

Arthur Conan Doyle

Maybe try to use one of your 3 remaining questions to narrow it down, rather than just randomly naming British writers, or saying "Arthur Conan Doyle" multiple times, huh?
