About the author

Henry Cadwallader Adams (1817-1899) was a British clergyman, educator and children's author, best known for his many contributions to the boys' school story genre. Born into a notable Warwickshire family, he was educated at Westminster School, Winchester College, Balliol College (1835) and Magdalen College, Oxford (1836), becoming a fellow of Magdalen in 1843. After some time as a school-master at Winchester, in 1855 he became the chaplain of Bromley College, an almshouse for the widows of clergy. In 1852 he married Esther Edmonds, and went on to become the vicar of Dry Sandford and later Old Shoreham (1878-1896).

Adams' first work to be published was The Cherry-Stones (1851), a school story begun by his brother, William Adams, which he completed after his brother's death in 1848. H.C. Adams was also the step-son of children's author Charlotte Adams, and the elder half-brother of novelist Charles Warren Adams. He died in 1899, having produced over thirty novels, mostly for younger people.
