Sobre IBD

G. A. Henty was one of the most popular boys’ authors of the 1800’s, a 'grand influence for good' who 'taught more lasting history to boys than all the school-masters of his generation.' 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. A must read for all Henty fans!
