AUTHOR: George William MacArthur Reynolds (1814-1879) was a British fiction writer and journalist. Born in Sandwich, the son of Captain Sir George Reynolds, a flag officer of the Royal Navy. Educated at Dr. Nances school in Ashford, Kent, and then attended the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. Intended for a career in the British Army, but quit the military following the death of his parents where he travelled a great deal, particularly in France, and became a naturalised French citizen. He began residence in Paris in 1834, where he started a daily English newspaper. The venture failed, and Reynolds returned bankrupt to England in 1836. Reynolds served as editor of The Teetotaller (a weekly journal advocating teetotalism) beginning in 1840. Reynolds was a prolific writer of popular fiction starting from The Youthful Imposter, published in 1835. During his lifetime he was more read than Dickens or Thackeray with his is best-known work being the long-running serial The Mysteries of London (1844)that sold 40,000 copies a week in penny instalments and more than a million copies cumulatively. The Mysteries of London and The Mysteries of the Court of London, are considered to be among the seminal works of the Victorian "urban mysteries" genre. The Mysteries of London, like most of Reynolds works, was published first as a weekly penny dreadful, or "Penny Blood", illustrated with lurid engravings and circulating mainly among readers of limited means and education.
