George Manville Fenn was a prolific English novelist, journalist, editor and educationalist. Many of his novels were written for young adults.
His final book was a biography of his fellow writer for juveniles, George Alfred Henty. Fenn, the third child and eldest son of a butler, Charles Fenn, was largely self-educated, teaching himself French, German and Italian.
After studying at Battersea Training College for Teachers (1851-1854), he became the master of a national school at Alford, Lincolnshire.
