A. G. K. (Alfred Guy Kingan) L'Estrange
1832–1915
A Victorian clergyman and man of letters, he wrote lively literary history and biographical studies, including a wide-ranging look at English humor. His books move easily between scholarship, anecdote, and a clear affection for the writers and places he described.

About the author
Born in 1832, Alfred Guy Kingan L'Estrange was an English writer and clergyman. Records gathered by Wikisource and library catalogs identify him as the Reverend A. G. K. L'Estrange, and his surviving bibliography shows a steady interest in literary history, biography, and cultural anecdote.
He is best known today for works such as History of English Humour, The Literary Life of the Rev. William Harness, and books connected with Mary Russell Mitford and Chelsea. That range suggests a writer who enjoyed bringing literary figures and social history to life for general readers rather than writing only for specialists.
L'Estrange died in 1915. A portrait image was not clearly available from the sources I could verify, so none is included here.
