"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." -- W. Fusselman
Reed, Talbot BainesWe have 14 books for this author.Talbot Baines Reed (April 3, 1852 – November 28, 1893) was an English writer who specialised in boys' school stories, the most famous of which were The Fifth Form at St. Dominic’s and The Adventures of a Three Guinea Watch. Born in Hackney, London, Reed was the third son of Sir Charles Reed, who served as Member of Parliament for the borough. Reed's family was also closely involved with the Religious Tract Society, which founded the Boy's Own Paper, a periodical which published all of his stories. Reed more than any other late 19th century writer was responsible for the ensuing popularity of school stories in British children's fiction. Talbot Baines Reed is buried in Abney Park Cemetery in Stoke Newington. BibliographyAlthough all of Reed's school stories were first serialised in the Boy's Own Paper, some of them were published in book form, both during and after the author's life.
