Geoffrey Trease (1909 - 1998) from British Children's Historical Novels. "His lifelong love of theatre and the arts did . . . find an outlet through his books, . . . such as Cue for Treason, and The Crown of Violet have a theatrical setting . . . These titles where theatre and the arts are central, are in my estimation his best writing, and are among my personal favourites; Trease's love and knowledge of his subject shines through, there is plenty of interesting detail about the development of theatre and culture in different settings, and his boy and girl protagonists are spirited creations. If pressed to pick one favourite it would have to be Cue for Treason, which was the first Geoffrey Trease book I read, and in my teenage years prompted my interest in historical fiction and social history . . ."
Geoffrey Trease from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Robert) Geoffrey Trease (August 11, 1909 - January 27, 1998) was a prolific writer, publishing 113 books between 1934 and 1997. His work has been translated into 20 languages. He is best known for writing children's historical novels, whose content reflects his insistence on historically correct backgrounds, which he meticulously researched.
Geoffrey Trease (1909 - 1998) from British Children's Historical Novels. "Geoffrey Trease died in January 1998 after a writing career spanning more than sixty years and over a hundred books. Novelist, biographer, critic and sometime schoolmaster, he was a defining force in 20th century children's historical fiction ... Robert Geoffrey Trease was born and grew up in Nottingham, the son of a wine- merchant and a doctor's daughter, and was the youngest of three brothers. He was an avid reader, working through all the classic adventure stories ..."
Geoffrey Trease (1909-98) from Britannica Kids, Encyclopædia Britannica. "English writer Geoffrey Trease pioneered in writing historical adventure novels for children that dealt with important moral and political issues ..."
Obituary: Geoffrey Trease by Ann Thwaite, 29 January 1998, Independent. "Robert Geoffrey Trease, writer: born Nottingham 11 August 1909; Chairman, Children's Writer's Group 1962-63; Chairman, Society of Authors 1972-73, member of Council 1974-98; FRSL 1979; married 1933 Marian Boyer (died 1989; one daughter); died Bath 27 January 1998.
Geoffrey Trease published his 100th book in 1990 and wrote regularly until last winter. His best-known book is probably Cue for Treason (1940).
He was a born writer. He himself recalled that his first writing was in a fat desk-diary, a handsome wine-and-spirit trade production his father had brought home from his office in Nottingham ...
I first met Geoffrey Trease nearly 50 years ago, when he visited my girls' grammar school in Barnet. I was 17 and I chaired his lecture on 'The Birth of a Book'. 'He was very decent to me when I talked to him,' I wrote in my diary at the time. Geoffrey was always decent to everybody ....
Trease quoted Boswell saying, 'He who pleases children will be remembered with pleasure by men.' ... Geoffrey Trease earned his first half-guinea as a writer at the age of 13 with an article on 'Amateur Journalism'. Five years later he won a scholarship to read Greats at Queen's College, Oxford ...
Trease was never a Communist but his approach was such that his radical early books sold huge numbers in the Soviet Union - as many as 100,000 of the first. Geoffrey and his beloved wife, Marian, spent a happy Russian summer in 1935 living on royalties that could not be taken out of the country ...
He was a compulsive writer. It gave him some satisfaction to celebrate his 100th book and to look at the long shelves of his lifetime's work, many of the titles translated into a wide variety of languages ...
If Trease's own stories were sometimes more than mere good yarns, it is certainly as a storyteller - and as a good man - that he will be long remembered."

Cue for Treason by Geoffrey Trease. An excellent book review of "A Neglected Classic" - A Personal View by Jim Mackenzie. "It is a tale of ordinary people and of lords, ladies, actors, courtiers, traitors, loyalists, country farmers and town dwellers, puritans and libertines. It is a spy story; it is a love story; it is an escape story; it is a mountain climbing story; it is a river story ... The story is made all the more appealing because the young central characters are depicted "warts and all". Peter, the narrator figure, reveals his own weaknesses and short-comings. Kit, his companion, suffers from both pride and vanity. The picture given of Queen Elizabeth is also not idealised and some of the villains can be respected for the cause they support in total conviction ..."
