Strang is entitled to premier place amongst
writers of stories that equally interest boys and adults.'
STANDARD:--'It has become a commonplace of criticism to describe Mr.
Strang as the wearer of the mantle of the late G.A. Henty.... We will
go further, and say that the disciple is greater than the master.'
DAILY TELEGRAPH:--'Boys who read Mr. Strang's works have not merely
the advantage of perusing enthralling and wholesome tales, but they
are also absorbing sound and trustworthy information of the men and
times about which they are reading.'
TRIBUNE:--'Mr. Herbert Strang's former books "caught on" with our
boys as no other books of adventure since Henty's industrious pen fell
from his hand.'
MANCHESTER GUARDIAN:--'Mr. Henty was the ancient master in this
kind; the present master, Mr. Herbert Strang, has ten times his
historical knowledge and fully twenty times more narrative skill.'
GENTLEWOMAN:--'This is the literature we want for young England.'
