Herbert George Jenkins

Herbert George Jenkins was a British writer and publisher, born in 1876 and died on June 8, 1923. He is closely associated with Herbert Jenkins Ltd, the publishing house that issued many books in the early 20th century, including novels by P. G. Wodehouse.

As a novelist, he was especially known for light fiction and for the much-loved Joseph Bindle stories. His work found humor in ordinary people and everyday situations, which helped make him popular with a wide readership.

Several of his books remain well known in reprint and audiobook form, including Patricia Brent, Spinster, Malcolm Sage, Detective, and the Bindle novels. He is remembered both as an entertaining storyteller and as a figure in the literary world beyond his own writing.
