Our Authors
Bestselling writers of the Edwardian era, our authors were read around the world in newspaper serials and books published to entertain a mass readership. They developed mystery writing before the conventions of detective fiction had been fully realized, so their novels are inventive, pacy and surprising. Over time, they vanished into the archives, but now these delights are available again.
