Primarily known for his work 'The Strange Adventures of Mr. Middleton' (1903), Curtis's contribution to the genre of humorous and fantastical tales is often overshadowed by his contemporaries. The novel blends satire with a whimsical narrative, showcasing Curtis's unique literary style characterized by a blend of humor and adventure, akin to the works of Mark Twain and P. G. Wodehouse. Although there is limited biographical information available on Curtis, his penchant for creating amusing escapades set against the backdrop of Edwardian society is evident through his narration and character development in 'The Strange Adventures of Mr. Middleton.' His storytelling has been described as having a light-hearted and surreal approach, delighting readers with the unexpected twists that befell his genteel protagonist. Curtis's literary work is a testament to the diverse array of novelistic forms that were burgeoning at the turn of the century, embodying the playful and sometimes absurd sensibilities that would eventually become more prominent in American literature.
