Biografía breve
Herbert Strang was the pseudonym of two English authors, George Herbert Ely (1866–1958) and Charles James L'Estrange (1867–1947). They specialized in writing adventure stories for boys, but also wrote stories for girls as 'Mrs Herbert Strang.'

Both men were staff members of Oxford University Press, which published their books, giving them a patina of social status and approval for the parents of their intended audience.
Their work showed a broad general debt to that of Jules Verne; Round the World in Seven Days was one of their most popular books. Ely and L'Estrange have been classified as "popular writers of imperial fiction" and "successors of G. A. Henty...."
. The pseudonym was also employed for several series of anthologies, works "edited by Herbert Strang" that included The Big Book of School Stories for Boys and The Oxford Annual for Scouts.

A quick read. Interesting to me since I have not read much of anything set in 1804 or 1805 in England or France. I think anyone today could enjoy this book for what it is, even though it was written in about 1905, and for boys, not adults.

Written for boys back in 1919. These boys had no video games or movies or television so this novel would have been very exciting for boys who were also too young to participate in the Great War. The novel was just okay for my tastes. It is linked to TOM BURNABY nearly at the end. I enjoyed TOM BURNABY and SAMBA more than I enjoyed this one.

Subtitled: "Being passages in the life of Sir Christopher Rudd, Knight, as related by himself in the year 1641 and now set forth." Loved the language and I loved the story.
