All the pictures are from Amazon and link to Amazon. (Not that it makes me any money, but I keep hoping for affiliate cash.) I think I earned $4 in 4 years.... I prefer the look of the old style books, but this is what they had and this one is cropped more correctly for a website. Yup. All the pictures are from Amazon and link to Amazon.

I have about 16 or so, mostly antique copies. A friend of mine has the current Vision Forum issue of Henty's, about 70 or so. So I'm fairly unlimited with my Henty reading. The Henty's offered by Vision Forum now are published by Robinson out of Oregon. They probably switched from Preston Speed because Robinsons are modeled after old copies. Also, they have more Henty's republished already. "In the Reign of Terror" is a good one indeed! My dad and I are reading "The Young Franc-Tireurs" right now. It is about the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Too bad he uses the French perspective...we won't hold that against the main character, who is, true to form, at least part English. I'll have to review that one when we're done. It looks like it'll be pretty good. Hurrah for Henty! I have about 16 or so, mostly antique copies.

Henty reader, yay! I love reading books by him, we have almost 40 in our small library, but I have yet to read them all. Thanks for the review, it was good. I will probably read it if we have it, mostly for the history, though it may take longer if its not as exciting as some of his others. (namely "In the Reign of Terror, to name one) I should have a review on the current G.A. Henty I am reading soon. Keep up the good work! Another G.A. Henty reader, yay!
