Extractions: VOICES OF FIVE COUNTIES: A GUIDE TO THE WRITERS OF HEREFORDSHIRE, SHROPSHIRE, STAFFORDSHIRE, WARWICKSHIRE AND WORCESTERSHIRE By Rosemary Toeman 192 pages 24 line drawings Special price £5.00 (List price £7.95) Paperback ISBN 1 899062 09 The five counties in the West Midlands have produced and influenced many writers over the centuries. Some - like Arnold Bennett, George Eliot, A E Housman, David Lodge, Dennis Potter, William Shakespeare and J R Tolkien - have become household names; many, well known in their time, are now largely forgotten; others were never familiar to more than a small circle; and a number of those currently writing are still building up reputations. All the best known writers from the five counties are here but there is also a lot of fascinating lesser known information. Andre Drucker, for example, not only founded the Vienna Patisserie Cafes but wrote plays and novels, including Ach! To Be In England. And for two years Jean-Jacques Rousseau lived with his mistress at Wootton Hall, near Ellastone in Staffordshire. Voices of Five Counties is an A-Z guide to over 1100 famous and forgotten writers born in, or strongly associated with, the West Midlands. For easy reference the author entries are followed by an A-Z of places associated with the writers.

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) - in full Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace British novelist, playwright, and journalist who produced popular detective and suspense stories and was in his time "the king" of the modern thriller. Wallace's literary output - 175 books, 24 plays, and countless articles and review sketches - have undermined his reputation as a fresh and original writer. Moreover, the author was a wholehearted supporter of Victorian and early Edwardian values and mores, which are now considered in some respects politically incorrect. In England in the 1920s Wallace was said to be the second biggest seller after the Bible. "This little autobiography is in itself a tribute to the system under which we live. There cannot be much wrong with the society which made possible the rise of J.H. Thomas or Edgar Wallace, that gave 'Jamie' Brown the status of a king in Scotland and put Robertson at the War Office as Chief of the Imperial General Staff."

Extractions: Biografie Het geheim van Edgar Wallace Britse Schrijver (Boeken, Toneelstukken en Filmscripts), en journalist. Hij produceerde populaire Detektiveboeken en "suspense stories" en is eigenlijk de uitvinder van de moderne "thriller". Wallace's literaire arbeid - 175 Boeken, 15 toneelstukken, en ontelbare artikelen en schriftlijke verhandelingen - hebben zijn reputatie van een frisse en originele schrijver geen goed gedaan. Onder Wallace's Karakters zijn J.G. Reeder, T.B. Smith, Superintendent Minter, Sanders van de Rivier, de Sooper, en Sergeant/Inspector Elk. Edgar Wallace werd geboren in Greenwich, en groeide op als een geadopteert kind in de familie van Dick Freeman, een Londoner vishandelaar. Zijn ouders waren toneelspelers, Polly Richards en Richard Horatio Edgar Marriott, die de valse name Walter Wallace op het geboorteregister opgaven. De jonge Wallace groeide op en werd onderwezen in Zuid-Londen, hij verliet de school toen hij 12 jaar was, en had verschillende baantjes voordat hij zich op de leeftijd van 18 jaar in het leger inschreef. Hij diende in het Royal West Kent Regiment van 1893 tot 1896. In 1896 werd Wallace overgeplaats naar het Medical Staff Corps in Zuid-Afrika, waar hij de rang van korporaal bereikte. Gedurende deze periode begon hij ook bijdrages te leveren aan diverse bladen, en schreef hij oorlogs-poems, die later gebundelt werden in THE MISSION THAT FAILED (1898) en andere volumes. Nadat zijn ontslag uit het leger in 1899, werd hij correspondent voor

Extractions: EDGAR WALLACE THE TRAITOR'S GATE by Edgar Wallace About the Author of this book EDGAR WALLACE (1875-1932) was born in London. His parents died when he was very young and he was sent to a workhouse; but a few years later he was adopted by a fish porter who sent him to a board school in Peckham. As he grew up he tried various jobs: in a rubber factory, on a Grimsby trawler, as a milk-boy, and as a newspaper seller. He joined the army in 1899 and was sent to South Africa. At the end of the war, in 1902, he decided to turn to journalism and returned to South Africa as war correspondent for Reuter's agency. His first story was The Four Just Men which he published at his own expense in 1905. After this, for the space of twenty years, Wallace wrote or dictated about 150 novels of which over thirty have now been made into films or plays. He found his true metier in 'thrillers', peculiarly his own creation, which he himself called "pirate stories in modern dress." FIRST PUBLISHED NOVEMBER 1927 by Edgar Wallace Chief-Inspector Tanner, investigating a murder that had been committed near the country house of Lord Lebanon, soon found that a great many things about the Lebanon household called for explanation. Why was Lady Lebanon so unwilling to answer questions? And why should the only obviously innocent person be so utterly terror-stricken?
