Book excerpt: Few contemporaries captured Britain’s indomitable wartime spirit as well or as wittily as the cartoonist Carl Giles. Now, for the first time, the very best of the cartoons he produced between 1939 and 1945 are brought together, including many that have not seen the light of day in over 75 years. As a young cartoonist at Reynold’s News and then the Daily Express, Giles's work provided a crucial morale boost – and much-needed laughs – to a population suffering daily privations and danger, and Giles's War shows why. Here are his often hilarious takes on the great events of the war – from the Fall of France, via D-Day, to the final Allied victory – but also his wryly amusing depictions of ordinary people in extraordinary times, living in bombed-out streets, dealing with food shortages, coping with blackouts, railing against bureaucracy and everyday annoyances. It's a brilliantly funny chronicle of our nation’s finest hour, as well as a fitting tribute to one of our greatest cartoonists.

Download or read book Mystery & Crime Collection written by H. C. McNeile and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 4301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herman Cyril McNeile (1888-1937) commonly known as H. C. McNeile or Sapper, was a British soldier and author. Drawing on his experiences in the trenches during the First World War, he started writing short stories and getting them published in the Daily Mail. After the war McNeile left the army and continued writing, although he changed from war stories to thrillers. In 1920 he published Bulldog Drummond, whose eponymous hero became his best-known creation. The character was based on McNeile himself, on his friend Gerard Fairlie and on English gentlemen generally. Drummond is a First World War veteran, brutalised by his experiences in the trenches and bored with his post-war lifestyle. He publishes an advertisement looking for adventure, and soon finds himself embroiled in a series of exploits, many of which involve Carl Peterson—who becomes his nemesis—and Peterson's mistress, the femme fatale Irma. McNeile interspersed his Drummond work with other detective novels and story collections that included two characters who appeared as protagonists in their own works, Jim Maitland and Ronald Standish. H. C. McNeile thrillers are a continuation of his war stories, with upper class Englishmen defending England from foreigners plotting against it._x000D_ This unique and meticulously edited collection includes: Jim Maitland_x000D_ The Island of Terror_x000D_ Bulldog Drummond _x000D_ The Black Gang _x000D_ The Third Round _x000D_ The Final Count _x000D_ The Female of the Species _x000D_ Temple Tower _x000D_ The Return of Bulldog Drummond _x000D_ Knock-Out_x000D_ Bulldog Drummond at Bay_x000D_ Challenge_x000D_ The Horror At Staveley Grange_x000D_ Tiny Carteret_x000D_ Ronald Standish_x000D_ Men, Women and Guns _x000D_ The Saving Clause _x000D_ Out of the Blue_x000D_ The Finger of Fate
