About the Author

George Payne Rainsford James, better known by his full name G. P. R. James, was an English novelist and historian. James was a lawyer by training, but he quickly switched to writing. Due to his meticulous research and engaging writing, he became well-known in the early 19th century for his historical novels. Through fictitious storylines, he brought historical events and individuals to life in many of his works. James was a prolific author who, in his career, wrote over sixty novels. Among his most well-known pieces are "The Gipsy," "Richelieu," and "The Smuggler." His books were both educational and enjoyable because of his skill at combining compelling storytelling with historical accuracy. James wrote travel and history non-fiction books in addition to his novels. He was vice-president of the Royal Society of Literature and a member of the organisation. The historical fiction genre was greatly influenced by the writings of G. P. R. James, whose works are still valued for their gripping tales and historical authenticity.
