Product Description
From 1947 Peter Newbolt spent over ten years in charge of production for a London bookpublisher, and set out to gain serious practical experience of printing, binding, process engraving, typefounding, paper-making, photography, gilding, tanning, and other relevant skills. During this period his book-designs were regularly seen in the Annual Exhibitions at the National Book League. In 1957 he was appointed Adviser to one of the largest printing groups in Europe, and consulted by London publishers, the Clarendon and Oxford University Presses, and publishers in Canada. He worked for the Royal Opera House, and planned the series format of the catalogues raisonnés of the Rothschild Collections at Waddesdon Manor, under their general editor, Sir Anthony Blunt. Following an industrial merger ten years later that appointment ended. Forming his own Company, Newbolt continued much of his earlier work. For twenty years he designed and compiled all UK editions of their international catalogues of recorded music for CBS. He embarked on a photographic survey of mediaeval church buildings in Norfolk. Since 1970 he has been restoring antiquarian books for leading international dealers and collectors, and in that year began this study of Henty's work.At the start of the Crimean War G.A. Henty left Cambridge before taking a degree, and was commissioned in the army. Letters he wrote on active service were shown by his father to a London editor, who published a number, including Henty's account of Florence Nightingale’s arrival at Scutari. From 1865, as war correspondent of the Standard, a leading London daily, he covered many of the minor Victorian campaigns. From 1860 he was one of the most prolific of writers. Of his 120 books the best known are his novels for boys. The first appeared in 1870 and several were still being reprinted in 1970. In this genre Henty developed a new and individual style, combining adventure that appealed to Edwardian prep-school boys, with history whose accuracy met with the approval of parents and educationalists alike. The pictorial bindings of his books from Blackie are known to dealers and collectors as the best examples of their kind. His dozen-or-so novels for adults, for long generally written-off as failures, are now shown to have included remarkable successes. Some, first published as three-deckers, were later re-issued as boys’ books. Indeed, most of Henty’s fiction was popular with readers of all ages. Listings and illustrations given here include over 500 editions and issues of all his books up to the end of the 1920s, his work in newspapers and periodicals, and, for the first time, examples of Henty’s own drawings, sent from Abyssinia in 1868 and printed in the London press. Peter Newbolt gives accounts of Henty’s main publishers, all important in their day, though some, including the eccentric William Tinsley, a character in whom Dickens would have delighted, are now little-known. There are notes on over 100 artists, and essays on the printing, binding, and illustration processes used for Henty’s books. This important contribution to the history of book-publishing will be invaluable to collectors of all authors of the mid-nineteenth to early-twentieth! centuries. ... Read more

An adventure filled with ingenuity and perserverance begins when 16-year-old Tom Wade leaves England, orphaned and facing a questionable future, in search of his Uncle Harry in America. The story follows Tom as he travels West to find his uncle with a band of comrades in Colorado's Rocky Mountain wilderness questing a gold mine. They are all pursued across the Bad Lands by Indians, overcome by a snowstorm in the mountains, and run down the unexplored Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Tom proves his courage, builds lasting friendships, and realizes his goal of returning home to offer his sisters a life they never imagined.Please Note:This book has been reformatted to be easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.The Microsoft eBook has a contents page linked to the chapter headings for easy navigation.

5-0 out of 5 stars True History
This book, although fiction, is true history. It was written by Henty in 1894. It's a classic adventure novel right up there in the ranks of Swiss Family Robinson. Henty was an outstanding writer of his time. It's veryeasy to get lost in this book, I'd be suprised if anyone could read itwithout putting it down. It's full of references and dialect of days longgone by. I want to jump into a time machine and go live with Tom for awhile and quit worrying about traffic and work. I am fortune enough to ownan original 1894 hard copy of this book that was given to me by a familyfriend and will cherrish it for ever.

5-0 out of 5 stars This book is really exciting and informative.
This book presents a factual side of western history in an exciting way! That is very rare these days. From the first few pages, you are drawn in by young Tom's determination to join his uncle in Colorado and the dangers,joys, and sorrows he encounters along the way. I read this book in fivedays; it is an impossible put-down! All those who love history or justgreat stories will love this book. ... Read more

The long and bloody feud between the houses of Orleans and Burgundy - which for many years devastated France, caused a prodigious destruction of life and property, and was not even relaxed in the presence of a common enemy -is very fully recorded in the pages of Monstrellet and other contemporary historians. I have here only attempted to relate the events of the early portion of the struggle - from its commencement up to the astonishing victory of Agincourt, won by a handful of Englishmen over the chivalry of France. ...
