Beschreibung

Famous for his pseudonym ‘Sapper’, H. C. McNeile drew on his experiences in the trenches during the First World War for his war stories and novels. His most famous creation is Bulldog Drummond, an ex-British Army Captain turned crime-fighting gentleman vigilante. McNeile’s stories are either directly about the war or feature characters whose lives have been shaped by the conflict. In later years, his work shifted into the genre of thrillers, featuring upper class Englishmen defending England from foreigners plotting against it. For the first time in publishing history, this edition presents McNeile’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
