Wallace, Edgar: The Edgar Wallace Collection Vol 10; v1

Edgar Wallace was a prolific writer of short stories, often in the form of a series featuring the same characters and following a somewhat porous overall arc. Many of these series were collected and published many years ago: The Brigand (1927); Chick (1923); and so on.

Collections of non-series short stories were also published many years ago, but these were often assembled in a rather slapdash manner with a lot of overlapping and repetition of stories.

But there were many stories published in magazines and newspapers that were never collected; even whole series of short stories. In these 10 volumes I have endeavoured to collect together the Edgar Wallace short story output by combining the many overlapping collections, eliminating duplications, and adding many stories never gathered together between covers.

He also wrote a number of series which had too few stories to make up a collection in book form, and which therefore were never put between covers in print. They remained inside magazines and newspapers, sometimes long-defunct, until recently disinterred by diligent Edgar Wallace researchers. This volume contains five of those uncollected short series.
The first two stories of the "Captain Hex" series were rewritten for the collection "The Brigand", (1927).
The e-texts are from Roy Glashan's Library, an Australian public domain free e-book provider. The series cover design is my own.
