Wenceslao Fernández Flórez (1885 in A Coruña, Galicia – 29 April 1964 in Madrid) was a popular Galician journalist and novelist of the early 20th century.

His father died when he was fifteen years old, forcing Wenceslao to abandon his education and dedicate himself to journalism.

He kept close friendship with Galician nationalism leaders and other intellectuals.

All of them were older than him, but who really makes a huge impression in his way of thinking was Castelao, which was one of the most frequently illustrators for his works.
