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. McNeile's 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. McNeile's 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.
