Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource

I received my book in excellent condition, just as it was promised. I can't wait to put this excellent resource to good use. My son and I are looking forward to adding the G. A. Henty books to our history studies. This guide will enable us to focus our readings to the G. A. Henty books that correspond to the particular time period we are studying.

A great timesaver

Henty is wonderful, and his storys are engaging enough for reluctant readers. This book is great at helping you or you child select a Henty title from a specific time frame. Need a book to add to your learing on the crusades? Find the title. Winning His Spurs (Large Print Edition): A Tale of the Crusades Other Child studing Ancient Rome? Find a title. Beric The Briton: A Story Of The Roman Invasion Grear timesaver, or would help so you can read the books in chronological (Historical) order

History Buffs: A Terrific and Useful Little Reference Book

HOME EDUCATORS: If you are trying to put together a history-based curriculum, this volume is very helpful! You can gauge which time periods in your student's course of study need some bolstering up (or livening up) and search in this book for the proper Henty novel to introduce. For example, to bulk up our study on "Ancient Times," I needed a novel about Hannibal. This terrific reference book tells me to get Henty's "The Young Carthaginian" to meet that requirement. Another problem it solves is that sometimes a history-based curriculum can get predictable. Everyone seems to be covering the same things and the only variance is how deeply they're studied. This guide covers all of Henty's books and makes it easy to locate his books on obscure subjects and events which you can tantalize your children with. Children seem to love citing these forgotten tales and bedazzling their peers and family with them! This volume will also prove invaluable to PEOPLE EDUCATING THEMSELVES. As an adult who is battling her "learning gaps," I just page through this reference until I find something that doesn't ring ANY bells! By reading a Henty, I enjoy a terrific adventure (which I can later discuss with my children), educate myself and, if I want to, pursue the subject more deeply later on.

Must for any Henty Lover or Inquirer

This is a great book for any Henty collector or inquirer. The book gives a brief synopsis of many of Henty's works in chronological order. I find it invaulable in picking the next book I want to buy and read. Henty is a great author for home educators, history buffs, and action adventure readers. The books contain excellent morals and are historically accurate. G.A. Henty wrote arround 144 books. Many of the books revolve around a fictional character who interacts with real persons from that historical period. Heroism, honor, courage, and leadership are integral characteristics of the main protagonists. I have trouble putting down a Henty story. I highly recommend this resource.

Great Book

This Book has the most information that I can find on G.A. Henty!
