Home Up Search Feedback ... Contact Us About G. A. Henty G. A. Henty' s life (1832-1902) was filled with exciting adventure. Completing Westminster School, he attended Cambridge University. Along with a rigorous course of study, Henty participated in boxing, wrestling, and rowing. The strenuous study and healthy, competitive participation in sports prepared Henty to be with the British army in Crimea, as a war correspondent witnessing Garbaldi fight in Italy, being present in Paris during the Franco-Prussian war, in Spain with the Carlists, at the opening of the Suez Canal, touring India with the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) and a trip to the California gold fields. These are only a few of his exciting adventures. G.A. Henty lived during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) and began his story telling career with his own children. After dinner, he would spend an hour or two in telling them a story that would continue the next day. Some stories took weeks! A friend was present one day and watched the spell-bound reaction of his children suggesting that he write down his stories so others could enjoy them. He did. Henty wrote approx. 144 books plus stories for magazines and was dubbed as "The Prince of Story-Tellers" and "The Boy's Own Historian." One of Mr. Henty's secretaries reported that he would quickly pace back and forth in his study dictating stories as fast as the secretary could record them.

"Yes," Malchus agreed, "but I fancy these hill tribes are broken up into a very large number of small villages in isolated valleys, only uniting when the order of the chief calls upon them to defend the mountains against an invader, or to make a simultaneous raid upon the plains." As they neared the village several persons were seen to issue out from the gate, and among these was a small and elderly man, evidently the chief of the party. His white hair descended to his waist; a boy standing behind him carried his bow and several javelins. The rest of the men appeared to be unarmed.

His father was well pleased with his report of what he had done and provided him with ample funds for paying earnest money to his various agents, as a proof that their exertions would be well rewarded. He soon had the satisfaction of seeing that the agitation was growing. Work was neglected, the sailors and labourers collected on the quays and talked among themselves, or listened to orators of their own class, who told them of the dangers which threatened their trade from the hatred of Hanno and his friends the tax collectors for Hannibal, whose father and brother-in-law had done such great things for Carthage by conquering Spain and adding to her commerce by the establishment of Carthagena and other ports. Were they going to stand tamely by and see trade ruined, and their families starving, that the tyrants who wrung from them the taxes should fatten at ease?

"MY DEAR LADS, In the following pages I have endeavored to give you a vivid picture of the wonderful events of...." This address marks the beginning of many of the almost 80 historical adventures G.A. Henty wrote for boys in the last three decades of the 19th century. Born into a comfortable family, Henty boxed, wrestled, and rowed his way through Westminster and Cambridge (where he did not complete his degree) before serving as a war correspondent in the Crimea, Italy, and Ethiopia. Enjoying the type of adventure that he wrote about so prolifically, he witnessed the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, journeyed through India with the Prince of Wales, and traveled to California. Henty's books touched on dozens of episodes in British history, including the Norman Conquest ( Wulf the Saxon), the establishment of British rule in India ( With Clive in India), and the Boer War ( With Buller in Natal). All followed the same basic formula: A boy-hero, generally age 15, finds himself on his own as a result of family circumstances; he meets up with a great man in whose company he has an adventure; in the course of the historical crisis he meets and rescues a girl destined to be his wife; the crisis is resolved, the British triumph, and the boy-hero returns as a man to settle down in England, modest but strengthened by the memory of his adventure. To the modern reader, Henty's books are notable for their hearty imperialism, undisguised racism, and jingoistic patriotism. To Henty's readers, though, devoted to his books in large numbers until World War II, British history was turned into adventure, and many boys learned that Great Britain became great and boys became men to borrow from another of Henty's titles "by sheer pluck."

DIGITAL BIBLIOPHILES Sherlock Holmes Master Detective, Part II by the Digital Bookworm, HOST Comp Bob The Origins of Sherlock Holmes The Return of Sherlock Holmes After killing off the intellectual detective in earlier stories, the renowned mystery writer Doyle brings Sherlock Holmes back to life in this collection of stories published in 1903. Using his famed powers of deduction, Holmes solves baffling cases including "The Empty House," The Six Napoleons," "The Golden Pince-Nez" and many more. The Hound of the Baskervilles At Baskerville Hall on the moors of Devonshire, a legendary curse has apparently claimed another victim. Sir Charles Baskerville is dead. There are no signs of violence, but his face is hideously distorted with terror. Years earlier, a hound-like beast with blazing eyes and dripping jaws is said to have torn out the throat of Hugo Baskerville. Enter Sherlock Holmes, summoned to protect Sir Henry from the fate that has threatened the Baskerville family. "The Hound of the Baskervilles" first appeared as a serial in The Strand Magazine in 1901. By the time of its publication in book form, eight months later, this brilliantly plotted, richly atmospheric detective story had already achieved the status of a classic. It has often been called the best detective story ever written. It remains a thrilling tale of suspense, must reading for every lover of detective fiction. The Valley of Fear A coded warning of imminent danger sends Holmes and Watson to the fortress-like country house of the reclusive Jack Douglas. When they arrive too late to prevent a tragic death, the world's greatest detective and his chronicler must follow a series of bewildering clues and find a murderer who has vanished into thin air.

Hella S. Haasse (1918- ) Born in Batavia, Dutch East Indies (Jakarta, Indonesia), Haasse is noted for her historical fiction in the style of collages, using authentic documents to tell her stories. Major novels include "Onverenigbaarheid van karakter" ("Incompatibility of Character," 1978) and "De groten der aarde" ("Great Figures of History," 1981). English translations include In a Dark Wood Wandering : A Novel of the Middle Ages Threshold of Fire : A Novel of Fifth Century Rome The Scarlet City : A Novel of 16th-Century Italy She has written 17 or so novels and poetry, plays and essays. Received the Netherlands State Award for Literature. I found this review of 'In a Dark Wood Wandering' by Webmistress Laura Akers on the Web: "This is the first book that, upon reaching the final words, I immediately began reading all the way through again from the beginning. It is a novel about Charles d'Orleans, a French duke and poet who lived during the 1400s. His poetry much of it written in English prisons during his many years as a hostage of war is still vibrant today, and the book is true to the spirit of his own writings, showing us a man who truly valued love and beauty and who understood honor and responsibility."
