Autorenporträt
Bracebridge Hemyng was born in London on March 5, 1841, as the eldest son of Dempster Hemyng, a successful barrister. He received his education at Eton and later followed his father s professional path by entering the Middle Temple. In 1862, he was Called to the Bar, but his legal career was not prosperous. Turning away from the courtroom, he pursued writing, beginning with contributions to newspapers and magazines before committing himself fully to fiction. His literary work became well known for its appeal to young readers, particularly through the creation of a heroic British schoolboy character whose global adventures captivated audiences. Hemyng married in the United States but eventually returned to live in London, where he spent the remainder of his life. He passed away on September 18, 1901, in London. His lasting impact is largely tied to his serialized adventure stories, especially those involving a resilient and morally upright protagonist who traveled widely and encountered numerous dangers. The legacy of his fiction influenced a generation of similar stories in youth literature, and his most iconic character became a foundational figure in the genre of boys serialized adventure fiction.
