Excellent stories. Sapper McNeile wrote a great group of stories, especially the Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond stories. Good villains and very good protagonists. They just don't write them like this anymore.Product details

Ronald Standish 11 Short Stories Sapper Herman Cyril McNeile Books Reviews
Very good, though in some tales there was Bulldog Drummond mostly , not Standish.
I love reading these older mystery's! They are entertaining but don't leave one with that yuck feeling.
Very good and so glad to get the 10th Bulldog Drummond novel.
I found this a wonderful book not only because it is so well-written and documented, but because it taught me so many things about the present dilemas that we face. I had thought that the first WW drastically changed the culture of the West, but Mr. Loconte shows how the prevailing culture just before the War to end all wars was really responsible for the wilingness of nations to go to war.
Add to this the fact that Mr. Loconte demonstrates the beauty of the lives of Tolkien and Lewis and how they managed to share their ideals in the midst of the spiritual poverty after WWI and I have to say how impressed I am bythis book.
The author, Joseph Loconte writes
'Tolkien and Lewis were attracted to the genres of myth and romance not because they sought to escape the world but because for them the real world had a mythic and heroic quality…
In an era that exalted cynicism and irony, Tolkien and Lewis sought to reclaim and older tradition of the epic hero. Their depiction of the struggles of Middle-earth and Narnia do not represent a flight from reality, but rather a return to a more realistic view of the world as we actually find it.'
This is his evaluation of the character of these two friends and I believe him to be right. I am a great fan of Tolkien and Lewis but I believe that this is a book well worth reading for anyone who enjoys history.
Interesting given the point in time these books were written that the author could foresee the beginnings of WWII. Prefer the novels over the short stories but all are entertaining.
Excellent stories. Sapper McNeile wrote a great group of stories, especially the Hugh "Bulldog" Drummond stories. Good villains and very good protagonists. They just don't write them like this anymore.
