| 0:00.0 | And the Yeah, Welcome back everyone to 1001 classic short stories and tales. Today's story, The Warrior Made of |
| 0:36.3 | San Carlos by Robert Barr. Robert Barr was a Scottish Canadian English novelist and short story author who also published |
| 0:44.8 | under the pen name Luke Smart. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland and emigrated to Canada with |
| 0:50.3 | his parents in 1853 when he was four years old. In 1881, Bar relocated to London |
| 0:57.0 | where he embarked on his most prolific instead of writing, publishing a work a year |
