Autorenporträt
William Henry Giles Kingston (February 28, 1814 - August 5, 1880), also known as W. H. G. Kingston, was an English author best remembered for his boys' adventure stories. Born in Harley Street, London, Kingston was the eldest child of Lucy Henry Kingston and Frances Sophia Rooke, the granddaughter of Sir Giles Rooke, a Court of Common Pleas judge. His paternal grandfather, John Kingston (1736-1820), was a Member of Parliament who, despite owning a plantation in Demerara, was a strong supporter of the abolition of the slave trade. Kingston's father, Lucy, ran a successful wine business in Oporto, Portugal, and spent much of his life there, making frequent trips to England. This international background sparked Kingston's lifelong love of the sea, which would become a central theme in many of his novels. As a writer, Kingston produced numerous adventure novels, filled with daring exploits and moral lessons. His works, such as The Three Midshipmen and Villegagnon: A Tale of the Huguenot Persecution, reflect his deep appreciation for exploration, courage, and the complexities of history. Kingston's stories remain popular for their exciting plots, inspiring young readers to embrace adventure and integrity.
