| Etienne Gerard is a hero of the French army, a veteran of the Napoleonic wars, and a vain and boastful teller of tales that star himself and his exploits. This collection of satiric short stories, originally published in The Strand magazine in the 1890s, includes: • "How the Brigadier came to the Castle of Gloom" • "How the Brigadier slew the brothers of Ajaccio" • "How the Brigadier held the King" • "How the King held the Brigadier" • "How the Brigadier took the field against the Marshal Millefleurs" • "How the Brigadier played for a kingdom" • "How the Brigadier won his Medal" • "How the Brigadier was tempted by the Devil" Hard to find in print, these lost comic classics from the creator of Sherlock Holmes will delight fans of pulp literature. |
