About the Author
George Alfred Henty (1832–1902), often known as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent renowned for his historical adventure stories that inspired a generation of young readers during the Victorian era. With a literary career spanning over 30 years, Henty penned over 120 books, instilling a sense of bravery and patriotism amongst his audience. His works commonly featured a young protagonist having thrilling adventures in historical settings, foregrounding the era's imperialist values and often championing British courage and virtue. One such notable work is 'St. George for England: A Tale of Cressy and Poitiers' (1885), which vividly portrays the heroics of English knights during the Hundred Years' War, encapsulating the chivalric and nationalistic spirit typical of Henty's narratives. His literary style is characterized by detailed historical research, a didactic tone, and engaging storytelling that combines action with moral lessons. Despite the fading popularity of his work in modern times due to shifting perspectives on imperialism and colonialism, Henty's stories remain significant for their depiction of British history and their influence on the adventure genre in children's literature.
