Sapper [H. C. McNeile]

The Black Gang

London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1947. Cloth. The second novel from H. C. Mcneile's series featuring the WWI Officer-turned-detective, Bulldog Drummond. This work is the forty-sixth edition of the work, in original publisher's cloth binding with price-clipped dust wrapper. The work was first published in 1922. This work was written by Herman Cyril McNeile, a British soldier and author who often drew on his personal experiences in the trenches during the First World War. McNeile is most remembered for his Bulldog Drummond series, writing this collection under the pseudonym Sapper. This work features Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond, a veteran from the First World War who tires of his mundane life and becomes an adventure-seeking detective. The character has since appeared in novels, short stories, in plays, films, on television and in graphic novels. This particular work was the second in the Bulldog series, with Drummond following on from the events in the previous novel by forming an organisation against left-wing movements in England. Through this, Drummond faces many obstacles from left-wing characters, making it harder and more dangerous than anticipated. In original publisher's cloth binding with clipped dust wrapper.

Dust wrapper in good condition, with chipping and a few closed tears, mainly around the hinges and spine. Tape to the reverse of the wrap. The odd mark to the wrap. Internally, firmly bound.

McNEILE, H.C.

Bull-Dog Drummond Double-Header: Including Third Round, the Final Count

Garden City, The Sun Dial Press, 1937. Hardcover. 8vo. Red cloth with black lettering and pictorial stamping, pictorial dust jacket. vi, 294pp, viii, 296pp. Near fine/very good. endpapers (only) a tad age toned as usual; jacket a bit edgeworn, with spine faintly sunned. A tight and quite attractive reprint of the third and fourth Drummond mysteries (first published in 1924 and 1926). "Two smashing novels in one volume," screams the front jacket panel. "Six feet of brawn and strength with the courage of a real two-fisted fighter, the devil-may-care Drummond stars in two of the most breath-taking, fast-actioned mysteries ever written." The red cloth spine featuring black image of the top-hatted, tuxedo-clad, cigarette-smoking adventurer is pristine and appealing. British novelist McNeile died in 1937, which perhaps occasioned the rerelease of these two titles. .
