Phaulcon the adventurer (1862) by William Dalton (Original Version)

By William Dalton

Book Overview

William Dalton (1821-1875) was a Victorian-era British author of adventure stories for youth set in exotic locations such as China, Japan and Peru. He wrote most of his books during a seven-year period between about 1857 to 1864. He was also chief Editor of the London Daily Telegraph for some time. Dalton was the first among many authors to novelize the true story of William Adams, who was the first Englishman to reach Japan in the 17th century. 1] His "romantic biography" is called Will Adams, the First Englishman in Japan (1861). It is not an accurate history - Dalton never went to Japan
