Description

William Henry Giles Kingston (28 February 1814 - 5 August 1880), often credited as W.

H. G. Kingston, was an English writer of boys' adventure novels.

His first book The Circassian Chief appeared in 1844.

His first book for boys Peter the Whaler was published in 1851 and had such success that he retired from business and devoted himself entirely to the production of this kind of literature and, during 30 years, he wrote upwards of 130 tales.

He also conducted various papers, including The Colonist and Colonial Magazine and East India Review.

He was also interested in emigration, volunteering, and various philanthropic schemes.

He received a Portuguese knighthood for services in negotiating a commercial treaty with Portugal, and a Government pension for his literary labours.
