George Alfred Henty (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781515215684)

We might know very little of the life of the late George Alfred Henty-writer for and teacher of boys, novelist, and one of the most virile of our war correspondents-but for one fortunate fact. His busy pen soon made him popular, and in course of time this popularity was sufficient to make editors of journals for the young realise that their readers would gladly learn something of the early life of the man whose vivid tales of adventure were being read with avidity wherever the English language had spread. In these days few are content to know a man only by his work, and even boys like to know something about the personality and experiences of the writers who have given them keen pleasure. As a result the inevitable came to pass, and the modern chronicler of personal details sought out the author.
