Description
Edgar Wallace was the author of over 170 books, translated into more than thirty languages. His stories captivated readers worldwide, with more films made from his books than any other twentieth-century writer. Born to a traveling actress, Edgar Wallace rose from poverty in Victorian England to become one of the most popular authors in the world. He achieved success as a war correspondent, film director, and playwright before becoming a celebrated thriller writer. Despite his wealth, Wallace's life was marked by financial instability, but he lived a story that was far more thrilling than any of his novels. This biography, written by Neil Clark, offers a lively account of Wallace's rags-to-riches story, revealing the man behind the sensational stories and films that made him a global celebrity.
