Felix Salten (September 6, 1869 - October 8, 1945) was an Austrian writer. He was born Siegmund Salzmann in Budapest, Hungary. When he was three weeks old, his family moved to Vienna, Austria. Many Jews were immigrating into the city in the late 19th century because Vienna had finally granted full citizenship to Jews in 1867. When his father went bankrupt he had to quit school and begin working in an insurance agency. Wikipedia
