Levi Parker Wyman (1873–1950), who published as L. P. Wyman, was an American author of juvenile adventure fiction. Born in Skowhegan, Maine, he was by profession an academic — Professor of Chemistry and later Dean of Faculty at Pennsylvania Military College — and wrote boys' adventure series as a sideline. He is best known for The Golden Boys series, beginning in 1922 with The Golden Boys and Their New Electric Cell, which follows the brothers Bob and Jack Golden and their friend Rex Dale through wilderness and mining adventures, often in Maine and Canadian settings. He also wrote The Lakewood Boys sequence and The Hunniwell Boys, an airplane-adventure series beginning with The Hunniwell Boys in the Air (1928) and notable to science fiction historians for its electrically powered aircraft and for the nonstop circumnavigation in The Hunniwell Boys' Nonstop Flight Around the World (1930). His books are typical of the boys'-series genre of the Stratemeyer Syndicate era, emphasizing resourcefulness, outdoor skill, and clean adventure for young male readers. Several of his titles are now in the public domain.
