William Murray Graydon (1864-1946) was a prolific American writer
of adventures stories for the young. Although the title sounds like
a fairy tale, The Princess of the Purple Palace follows the efforts
of two boys to rescue a princess during the 1898-1901 Boxer
Rebellion in China.
"It was November in London. The great city was buried under a dank,
yellow fog. Traffic was temporarily checked; foot passengers groped
their way by the light of the street lamps, and the hoarse shouts
of the link boys running before cabs and carriages with blazing
torches rang at intervals above the muffled rumble of countless
wheels. "In the coffee-room of a quiet hotel on the Strand a young
man stands by the window, looking pensively out on the misty
street. He is quite young, with light hair that falls half over his
forehead, and a drooping, golden mustache, and in rather startling
contrast to these a deep-bronzed complexion that tells of foreign
lands and tropical suns." In Guy in the Jungle Sexton Blake tracks
down a missing British heir in India only to find a wild boy raised
in the wild by panthers William Murray Graydon was an American-born
writer of adventure and detective fiction. He wrote more than 100
Sexton Blake Stories. Pseudonyms include Alfred Armitage, William
Murray Gordon, William Murray, and Tom Olliver.
