Brown Collection
Brown Collection
Located in Bredon 29 at the University of Worcester, UK, the Brown Collection reflects current research interests in the area of children's literature and is of international interest.
The Collection includes works by and about the writer G. A. Henty (1832-1902) and has been put together over a period of seventy years by a private collector. After an eventful career as a war correspondent, G. A. Henty wrote historical adventure stories for boys. Both his journalistic career and his writing coincided with the period of rapid British imperial expansion during the reign of Queen Victoria.
