The Boy's Guide to the Historical Adventures of G. A. Henty

by William Potter

The Boy's Guide offers two unique features. First, it gives the history of the remarkable life of Henty, and the reason why Christian boys should read his adventure stories. Second, it gives the reader both a plot summary and an historical overview of each of the more than seventy works of historical fiction that flowed from the pen of a man whom Sword and Trowel named ''the king of storytellers for boys.''

A short summary and chronological catalog of Henty’s historical stories. Good to see what time periods interest you and what the story is about.
