Autor

Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne was an author who also went by the pen name Weatherby Chesney. He is arguably best known as the author of The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis. He is well known for his Captain Kettle stories and The Recipe for Diamonds. Hyne was born May 11, 1866. He married Mary Elizabeth Haggas, who died in 1938. They had a son named Charles Godfrey Haggas Cutcliffe Hyne (1 December 1897 - 21 November 1916), who was injured in the Battle of the Somme and died of his injuries. They also had a daughter named Nancy Mildred Cutcliffe Hyne (1902-1999). Captain Kettle initially appears as a supporting character in the novel Honour of Thieves (1895). His first appearance as a main character occurred in the short story 'Stealing a President' in Pearson's Magazine, volume 1, number 6 (1896). This first short story was followed in 1897 by a series of twelve short stories in Pearson's Magazine, which were eventually collected and published as Adventures of Captain Kettle. Over the next four years, two additional sets of twelve stories were published in Pearson's Magazine and then collected as Further Adventures of Captain Kettle ("A master of fortune" in the United States) and Captain Kettle K.C.B., respectively.
