The Golden Hind Series was initially co-published by John Lane in the UK and Harper’s in the U.S. The first titles were issued in 1927. According to a prospectus for the series (quoted in Literature of Travel and Exploration: An Encyclopedia, edited by Jennifer Speake) “the volumes were presented as ‘in a form suitable for the general reader new lives of great explorers written by well-known men of letters which are at the same time reliable history and attractive biographies.’ Each author was allowed to present his subject in the manner he wanted, so long as he examined all available material, especially the documents left by the explorer and his contemporaries.” -- A Series of Series
