G.A. Henty

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

Um, I'm not sure where I read it, I went to a few Henty sites and here's some titles are the ones I remember reading about.

Dorothy's Double - The Story of a Great Deception
A Woman of the Commune - A Tale of Two Sieges of Paris
The Lost Heir
A Soldier's Daughter
A Hidden Foe
A Search for a Secret
The Queen's Cup

And a he also wrote a biography of Queen Victoria.

Here's a couple of sites:

http://www.knowledgerush.com/kr/biograp ... _A._Henty/
http://robinsonbooks.com/Merchant2/merc ... re_Code=RB

Ps: the last site is probably where I read about it.
