Have you looked for a birth for him on freebmd?  You will see there are several possibilities assuming he was English.

Have you checked the 1911 census?

Googling the book brings up lots of hits and it's available on Amazon.  If you have a copy - is there any info in it about the author?

What is your interest in him?  Any possibility the books were written using a pseudonym
