George Alfred Henty was a creative author and war correspondent. He is most popular for his old adventure fiction that were renowned in the later years of the 19th century. Some of his books are The Dragon & The Raven, For The Temple, Under Drake’s Flag and In Freedom’s Cause.

G. A. Henty was born in Trumpington, near Cambridge. He had poor health as a child who had to spend most of the time in bed. Although he was often sick, he was an eager reader and had a vast variety of hobbies which he brought into as a grownup man. He studied at Westminster School, London, and then Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he was enthusiastically into sports.

G. A. Henty’s viable fame inspired other authors to write youthful adventure fiction in his way of writing; “Herbert Strang”, Henry Everett McNeil, Percy F. Westerman and Captain Frederick Sadleir Brereton all made stories in “the Henty tradition”, frequently integrating later modern topics including air travel and World War I warfare. In 1930s, though, significance in Henty’s writings was decreasing in Britain, and thus some juvenile’s authors there pored over to his books as an example.
