I came across George Bronson-Howard in some early issues of The Popular Magazine. I read a couple of
stories about the diplomatic agent, Norroy. They’re well-written stories. The
pace is best described as genteel, and the evil-doers much more gentlemanly
than you’d expect, but they’re redeemed by the characterization and settings. A
partial description of Norroy in his first adventure should give you the
flavor of the writing: His clothes were
just a little too much the mode of the day, and one indefinably regretted that
a man of his intelligence should spend the thought necessary for such
ultra-fashionable attire.
Looking for more information about him, I didn’t find
anything online except the dates of his birth in 1884 and death in 1922. A
little digging unearthed a few interesting facts, I got sucked in and before I
knew it I had accumulated a few pages of material on him. To do his life
justice would need a book, this article is a start.
