Sinopse
Características

This early work by H. C. McNeile was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 51 Stories by Sapper contains a collection of excellent short stories that include Out of the Blue, Stubby, The Old Dining-Room, The Rubber Strap, and many more. Herman Cyril McNeile was born on 28th September 1888, in Bodmin, England. McNeiles writing career began in 1915 when the Daily Mail serialised Reminiscences of Sergeant Michael Cassidy. He wrote under the pseudonym Sapper due to British Army personnel being barred from publishing under their real names. McNeiles most famous creation was that of Bull-Dog Drummond in 1920. Drummond was an ex-army captain with a thirst for adventure and defeating bad guys. This character went on to appear in ten full-length novels by McNeile and several further works by Gerard Fairlie.
