نبذة عن المؤلف
George Alfred Henty, commonly known as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist and war correspondent who was born on December 8, 1832, in Trumpington, near Cambridge. His storytelling style is characterized by a blend of thrilling adventures with detailed historical contexts, which made his works particularly appealing to young readers and established his enduring legacy in historical literature. Henty attended Westminster School before enrolling at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. His academic career, however, was interrupted by health issues, leading him to pursue a more adventurous life. Volunteer service in the Crimean War and his work as a correspondent for The Standard newspaper provided him with rich experiences that he later channeled into his writing. With over 120 books to his name, Henty was a prodigious writer, known for his historical adventure stories such as 'The Dragon and the Raven' (1886), where he chronicles the exploits of the Saxon king Alfred the Great and his battles against Danish invaders. His work often features a young protagonist who displays courage, intelligence, and perseverance, mirroring the values of the Victorian era in which he wrote. Henty's novels were popular among generations of readers and played a significant role in the education and entertainment of British youth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He passed away on November 16, 1902, leaving a wealth of literature that endures as a testament to his extraordinary storytelling ability.
