STRANG, Herbert

STRANG, Herbert
   Collaborative pseudonym of UK writers George Herbert Ely (1866-1958) and C.J. L'Estrange (1867-1947) used on a large number of boys' adventure stories, among them a series of novels about futuristic TRANSPORTATION devices, including King of the Air, or To Morocco on an Airship (1908), Lord of the Seas (1908), The Cruise of the Gyro-Car (1910), Round theWorld in Seven Days (1910), The Flying Boat (1912) and A Thousand Miles an Hour (1924). These were competently written with a certain Edwardian dash, and a fair amount of imperialist cliche. HS also published future- WAR Yellow Peril stories.
