# George Hamilton Teed

George Hamilton Teed (9 December 1886 – 24 December 1938) was a Canadian author who also wrote under the pen-names G. H. Teed, Hamilton Teed, Louis Brittany, Peter Kingsland, and Desmond Reid. Teed was born in Woodstock, New Brunswick. He specialized in adventure fiction and detective stories, but also wrote science fiction and the odd romance. He is best remembered for his tales of Sexton Blake, a popular, fictional British detective who featured in a wide variety of publications in the first half of the twentieth century. He wrote close to three hundred Blake tales, more than any other author, and his creations and writings are considered "the best in Blake history before the Second World War."

## Life and work

George Heber Hamilton Teed was one of three children. His father, Almon Isiah Teed, was a merchant who owned saw-mills, a fleet of boats, and a coffee plantation in South America. Hamilton was educated at McGill University in Montreal at that time one of Canada's most exclusive schools. After graduation he set off to explore the world. He circumnavigated the globe twice, and tried his hand at various jobs including overseeing a banana plantation in Costa Rica, and sheep-farming in Australia.
Writing Sexton Blake Tales
Legend has it that while travelling by ship to England from Australia in early 1912, Teed met Mrs. Margaret Sempill the widow of Ernest Sempill, a talented and popular Sexton Blake author who wrote under the name Michael Storm for The Union Jack and other publications owned by the Amalgamated Press. Sempill had died in Australia and left notes for a few uncompleted manuscripts. Teed convinced Mrs. Sempill to let him finish the works and submit them under her husband's name. Over the summer of 1912 the partnership, with Teed at the typewriter and Mrs. Storm making the sales, produced four tales that were sold to Boys' Friend: Sexton Blake’s Double (unpublished), ’Twixt Fire and Redskin (Published 16 November 1912), and The Kidnapped Ambassador (Published 30 November 1912).
In 1912 Teed published the first tale in the Union Jack, Dead Man's Shoes. In all, the partnership sold 17 stories to Union Jack but came to an end when Mrs. Sempill and Teed fell out, possibly over money. In 1913 Teed went to the offices of the Amalgamated Press to disclose that he was the author behind the stories recently sold to them by Mrs. Storm. Though sceptical, editor W. H. Back sat him down at a typewriter in the office, saying: "Write me two chapters of a Blake yarn." Teed did so and in such style that his credentials were no longer in question. From that point on, Teed became a regular contributor of the Union Jack and other Amalgamated Press publications.
The 'Teed era' truly began in 1913 with the creation of three of his most legendary characters: Yvonne Cartier, a female criminal mastermind who sets out to avenge her family in an 8-part epic tale, Dr. Huxton Rymer a world renowned surgeon who turns to a life of crime and Prince Wu Ling, a member of the Chinese imperial family bent on world domination.
For fans, 1913 was the start of the Sexton Blake Golden Age and Teed played no small part in it. He wrote eighteen tales that year, seventeen of which were published in The Union Jack, setting the record for most stories published by a single author in that story paper He wrote the Easter, Summer and Christmas double issues for 1913. The Sacred Sphere the 1913, Christmas double issue, includes all three of the characters he introduced: Yvonne Cartier, Dr. Huxton Rymer and Prince Wu Ling. It is considered one of the best Sexton Blake tales of all time. He would continue to write many of the double issues in the following years and began introdcuing even more new characters in 1914.
Teed wrote for many of the Amalgamated Press' publications including; The Boys' Friend Library, Boys Realm, Boys Journal and Answers Library. In 1915 he was asked to write the debut story for The Sexton Blake Library
With the outbreak of World War I Teed joined the King Edward's Horse, a Canadian troop, and served in France. Later he was stationed in Dublin, where he became very ill with pneumonia. Invalided out of the service he took a post in Southern India. Later as branch manager of an export firm he met his future wife, Inez Annie Dunning, at a fancy dress ball. They were married in 1920, and moved back to London in 1921. He resumed his writing career and began publishing Sexton Blake Stories in 1922. That year he was commissioned to write the milestone 1000th issue of the Union Jack, The Thousandth Chance, a tale that included many of the major characters in the Sexton Blake Universe. In the following year he became only the third author to have written over 100 Blake stories, after William Murray Graydon and Andrew Murray.
Other Detectives and Other Publications
Teed’s detective fiction was not limited to the exploits of Sexton Blake; he wrote for hire for other detective story papers as well. In 1915 he began writing stories for The Nelson Lee Library a popular story paper that featured Nelson Lee, one of Blake's greatest rivals. Teed produced over thirty tales featuring Nelson Lee over the course of the next two years. Like he had done for Blake, Teed created a female adversary for Lee: Mademoiselle Miton, The Black Wolf, a cross-dressing jujitsu master whose tales stretched over 17 episodes. In the 1930s, he had detective Dixon Hawke match wits with villainess Nicolette Lazare, the Black Angel, in a half-dozen tales in the pages of The Dixon Hawke Library.
Teed continued writing throughout the 1930s, writing for The Sexton Blake Library, Union Jack, Detective Weekly, The Thriller, The Ranger and Modern Wonder. He also published several novels including Murder Ship (1935) Five in Fear(1936) and Voodoo Island (1939).
Films
Several of Teed's works were adapted for the silver screen. The Clue of the Wax Vesta released in 1914 told the tale of Yvonne's Cartier attempt to avenge her family. The Clue of the Second Goblet released in 1928 was based on a story of the same name. In 1935 his story They Shall Repay was adapted into the feature film Sexton Blake and the Mademoiselle starring George Curzon.
Death
In the late 1930s Teed developed a serious bronchial illness. He died of heart failure in London Hospital in Whitechapel on Christmas Eve, 1938.

## Influence and legacy

Though the male adversaries that Teed crafted were indeed formidable – none more so than Prince Wu Ling, Hammerton Palmer, Prince Menes, and Dr. Huxton Rymer, (his favourite character), – it was the female foes that Teed pitted against Sexton Blake that are among his most memorable. Those include Yvonne Cartier, Marie-Galante, Muriel Marl, Vali Mata-Vali, Lola de Guise, and Roxane Harfield, the first female master criminal from his home province of New Brunswick. In those creations, Teed changed the way women were portrayed in the story papers. Before him, women in the Blake adventures were typically associated with anarchist movements, gold-digging, or with various forms of blackmail. Teed’s heroines were much more emancipated and complex, pursuing crime for pleasure, profit, and power.
Great characterization was one of Teed’s hallmarks. He had a talent for creating lifelike characters, skillfully imbuing both heroes and villains with a rich humanity that made them like real living people.
Unlike many of his Union Jack contemporaries, Teed's writing was not concerned with the nuts and bolts of detection. "His strength" writes Steve Holland, in G.H.Teed (1886-1938). A Life of Adventure, "was his ability to create an atmosphere. He was an adventure writer, creating thrillers set in exotic locations, and often Blake was subservient to the atmosphere, although it can never be said that the stories became purely travelogues. His contribution to Blake was to give him the world to play in: South America, China, Haiti, Russia, Paris, the Middle East, Australia, although he also used London and its environs in some stories."
By career’s end, in 1938, Teed had published a total of 299 Sexton Blake tales in various publications, making him the most prolific Blake author of all time.
