Percival Christopher Wren is best known as a novelist, publishing
twenty-eight novels from 1912 to 1941, the most famous of which
being Beau Geste (1924). Wren also published seven short story
collections: Stepsons of France (1917), The Young Stagers (1917),
Good Gestes (1929), Flawed Blades (1933), Port o' Missing Men
(1934), Rough Shooting (1938), and Odd-But Even So (1941). These
short story collections contained a total of 116 stories. There
were also two omnibus collections published, Stories of the Foreign
Legion (1947) and Dead Men's Boots (1949), containing stories taken
from Stepsons of France, Good Gestes, Flawed Blades, and Port o'
Missing Men. In addition to the 116 stories published in Wren's
short story collections there are some additional items in The
Collected Short Stories. "At Oxford: Innocent Ernest and Artful
Eintz" is a short story originally published in 1919 in an obscure
fiction magazine. "The Romantic Regiment" and "Twenty-Four Hours in
the Foreign Legion" are "factual" articles originally published in
magazines. "Wonderful Egypt" is an article (more a photographic
essay) originally published in The Strand Magazine. The article "I
Saw a Vision " originally appeared in a rare psychic magazine,
Prediction. There is also an article found in an Australian
newspaper, "Meaning of Dreams," where Wren relates a couple of
dreams he had experienced. Finally there is "Broken Glass," an
unpublished short story. Each story has introductory comments by
the editor, John L. Espley. Volume four of The Collected Short
Stories contains twenty two short stories and one article. There
are nine stories from Port o' Missing Men (1934) and thirteen from
Rough Shooting (1938) that were originally published between 1933
and 1938, with some of the stories being published first in
magazines and newspapers. The article is "Wonderful Egypt" which
was originally published in The Strand Magazine in 1936.
