Abstract

Henry Kingsley (1830-1876) was a popular Victorian novelist and younger brother of the better known Charles Kingsley (1819-1875), author of Westward Ho! and The Water-Babies. In the 1850s, Henry spent four years in Australia, working in the goldfields, but never made his fortune. The experience informed several of his novels, including the once-popular Recollections of Geoffry Hamlyn (1859). Here is an early 20th-century adaptation of the novel for young Australasian readers.
