Autorenportrait

George Alfred Henty (1832-1902) was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent. He is best known for his historical adventure novels and stories. Henty's novels typically revolve around a boy or young man living in troubled times. These ranged from the Punic War to more recent conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars or the American Civil War. Henty's heroes ¿ which occasionally included young ladies ¿ are uniformly intelligent, courageous, honest and resourceful with plenty of 'pluck' yet are also modest. His works include The Dragon & The Raven, For The Temple, Under Drake's Flag and In Freedom's Cause.
