Autor

Herbert Strang was the shared pseudonym of English writers George Herbert Ely and Charles James L'Estrange, who collaborated throughout the early 20th century to produce popular adventure fiction, primarily targeting young readers. Both authors were affiliated with Oxford University Press, which published many of their books and helped lend their stories an air of literary respectability. Their works often depicted tales of imperial valor, technological innovation, and youthful courage, drawing inspiration from the narrative style of Jules Verne and continuing the legacy of adventure authors like G. A. Henty. The duo crafted stories that engaged with contemporary and historical settings, such as the Russo-Japanese War, Elizabethan naval exploits, and frontier conflicts, blending imaginative storytelling with moral clarity and patriotic sentiment. Their name also appeared on a variety of anthologies and serialized collections designed to appeal to young audiences, including adventure-themed annuals and school stories. A related pseudonym, Mrs Herbert Strang, was used for adventure fiction aimed at girls, including robinson tales. Their joint bibliography includes works like Round the World in Seven Days, The Air Scout, and With Drake on the Spanish Main, reflecting their fascination with exploration, flight, and military honor.
