Max Pemberton

Sir Max Pemberton (1863-1950) was an English novelist and journalist who became one of the most widely read popular authors of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods. He edited Cassell's Magazine and the boys' paper Chums, and produced dozens of adventure and mystery novels, among them The Iron Pirate and Kronstadt. Knighted in 1928, he also founded the London School of Journalism and remained a fixture of British popular publishing well into the twentieth century.
