Editorial Reviews

Product Description

George Alfred Henty (1832-1902), referred to as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, England. He is best known for his historical adventure stories that were popular in the late 19th century. His works include Out on the Pampas (1871), The Young Buglers (1880), With Clive in India (1884) and Wulf the Saxon (1895). He attended Westminster School, London and later Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he was a keen sportsman. Henty once related in an interview how his storytelling skills grew out of tales told after dinner to his children. He wrote his first children's book, Out on the Pampas in 1868, naming the book's main characters after his children. While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non-fiction such as The March to Magdala (1868) and Those Other Animals (1891), short stories for the likes of The Boy's Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boys magazine. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Harsh History, Tons of Adventures, December 4, 2007
Another Henty story! The young hero, along with many other Scots, joins the 3o years war for want of something better to do. During the battles against the imperialists he works on being cool, calm, and collected according to his countryman's advice. Soon he gains the favor of the Danish king (rather improbably) and later, while recovering from a bout of fever saves a besieged castle + fooling the imperialists into thinking he and his followers are the whole Hepburn brigade! Tons of adventures (some gruesome), and in between some historical explanations - have a map ready!
Note: the trust which the imperialist leader and the Scandinavian king have in the hero is improbable, but they do offer a good look at the top leaders of the war.
Another note: I don't think anyone under 10 should read it - sometimes it was hard for me to read. G. A. Henty does not make war out to be glorious or wonderful. He places the remarkable adventures in harsh historical contexts. Many died in the 30 years war, not all of them soldiers, and many die in the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Book, February 17, 2007
Fast delivery - thank you! However, the binding of the book was very poor and split almost immediately upon opening - though not the fault of the seller.
