About the author
Born in Islington on May 6, 1862, Henry Charles Moore was an English author and journalist. Sources describe him as having worked as assistant editor of the Rangoon Gazette, Good Words and the Sunday Magazine, and the Record, and later as the London correspondent of the Empress of Calcutta.
He wrote a number of adventure stories for younger readers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including titles such as Marching to Ava and Noble Deeds of the World’s Heroines. An obituary in The Times noted that, although he produced many boys’ stories, he would be best remembered for Omnibuses and Cabs (1902), his history of road passenger transport.
Moore died in Ruislip on October 31, 1933, at the age of 71. No suitable confirmed portrait image was found from the sources checked, so a profile image is not included here.
