Hello to All!
This is my first posting with LNF. I look forward to "meeting" other members and discussing our mutual interests. I am a recently retired professor of human communication from Pepperdine University with some fiction and nonfiction writing credits...no books (yet).
I do some book collecting and have recently found a publication by G. A. Henty, The Boy Knight. (I am still try to figure out how to underline the book title on this site!) I am wondering if anyone knows the publication date of this book since no date appears within the book.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you might offer.

To underline something in your post, highlight the text you want to underline with your mouse and cursor, then click on the capital "U" above the white text field :)

Is there a sub-title to this book? A search of "Boy Knight" by Henty comes up with a few possibilities, because there were many 'unofficial' or pirated publications of Henty's works, so titles can vary greatly. Here's a few: The Boy Knight; The Boy Knight: A Tale of the Crusades; Winning His Spurs, A Tale of the Crusades, aka Boy Knight, pub. 1882.
