About Author

W.H.G. Kingston

The English author William Henry Giles Kingston was born on February 28, 1814, and died on August 5, 1880. He was also known as W. H. G. Kingston. Charles William Kingston was born on February 28, 1814, in Harley Street, London. Lucy Henry Kingston (d.1852) and her husband Frances Sophia Rooke (b.1789) had one son. Lady Rooke was the daughter of Sir Giles Rooke, who was a judge on the Court of Common Pleas. Kingston's grandpa on his dad's side, John Kingston (1736–1820), was a member of parliament who fought hard to end the slave trade, even though he owned a plantation in Demerara. His father, Lucy, started a wine business in Oporto, and Kingston lived there for many years. He often took trips to England and developed a love of the sea that he will never lose. He went to Trinity College, Cambridge, for school and then worked in his father's wine business, but he quickly found time to write. His newspaper stories about Portugal were translated into Portuguese. They helped get a trade agreement between the two countries signed in 1842, when Donna Maria da Gloria gave him an order of Portuguese knighthood and a pension.
