George Alfred Henty

G.A. Henty was one of the most popular boys' authors of the 1800's.



This biography, written by a friend and colleague shortly after Henty's death, offers a rare look at a fascinating man! From his early life as a sickly child, to dodging bullets in the streets of Paris as a fearless war correspondent, or tramping through the jungles of the African Gold Coast, Henty's life reads like one of his stories.
