Fred M. White (1859–1935) penned a variety of novels and short stories. He was the author of the six "Doom of London" science-fiction tales, in which London was beset by various disasters.

Book Summary
'A Daughter of Israel' is an adventure-mystery novel by Fred M. White. The story begins by introducing us to two boys and a girl, the eldest boy perhaps sixteen, the others apparently his juniors by the brief span of two years. They did not look like English lads, for their faces were bolder cut and their eyes darker—the aquiline group of countenance which denoted the chosen people. The senior of the little group would have been handsome had it not been for a certain greedy, crafty look on his thin colorless lips, and the deformity between the shoulders. Abishai Abraham, conscious of his ugliness, conscious also of his crooked mind, cared but little for that, and took pride in his own misfortune from his earliest years—for a child he had never been—his hand had been against all men's, and as against his.
