G.A. Henty was an English author and a war correspondent. He is famously known for his historical adventure stories that were so popular in the late nineteenth century. Henty works include Freedom’s Clause (1885), Under Drake’s Flag (1883), For the Temple (1883), and The Dragon & The Raven (1886).
Henty was born in Trumpington, and his childhood was a tough one as he steadily became sick and spent extended periods of time in bed. During these low times in his life, Henty became an avid reader and developed a variety of interests most of which were transferred into adulthood. The author attended Westminster School and later joined Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge. He quit his university studies to join Army Hospital Commissariat, a voluntary job when the Crimean War began. While in the army, he was sent to Crimea, and while in the battlefield, he witnessed the harsh conditions the soldiers were subjected to during the war. Henty letters back home had vivid descriptions of what he had witnessed. His father was impressed by the letters that his son sent back home such that he forwarded them to The Morning Advertiser newspaper which published them. This success was what later motivated Henty to accept a job offer to become a special correspondent/war correspondent.

Before his resignation from the military in 1859, Henty married the love of his life, Elizabeth Finucane. The couple was blessed with four children. In 1865, Henty’s wife died after battling illness for long and immediately he began publishing articles for Standard Newspaper. In 1866, the Standard Newspaper hired him as their special correspondent to report on the Auster-Italian War.

Henty was an avid support of supporter of the British Empire. His ideas on politics were highly influenced by writers such as Thomas Carlyle and Sir Charles Dilke. The author stated in an interview that his storytelling skills were sharpened out of the bedtime stories told to his children after dinner. His first children book was published in 1870 and featured characters named after Henty’s children. Even though Henty wrote 122 children’s books, he also wrote non-fiction, adult novels, and short stories.

Henty’s children books mainly focused on the main character living in troubled times, such as American Civil War, Punic War, and the Napoleonic Wars. The author’s heroes who in most cases are young ladies- are courageous, intelligent, resourceful and honest and these four virtues have resulted into Henty’s novels becaming so popular amongst many homeschoolers and Christians in the modern world. Some of his novels are based on true events that he had witnessed himself, for instance, the Crimean War, and thus these books were written with extensive detail as Henty had first-hand experiences of the places, people, and events.

Henty died in 1902 aboard his boat in Weymouth, Dorset. His uncompleted novel By Conduct and Courage was finalized by his son, Captain C.G. Henty.

The cat was chosen to be the next cat of Bubastes. This tragedy forces Jethro and Amuba to take the lead and travel with their new friends, Ameres children to safety.

The revolt fails, and Beric arranges for them to be restored to their liberty. Now with Beric and his people leading a campaign against the Roman influence, who will finally emerge the victor in this world of war?
