Sexton Blake is a fictional character, a detective who has been featured in many British comic strips, novels, and dramatic productions since 1893. As the years passed, Blake’s character experienced various permutations. He was originally created to be similar to earlier 19th-century detectives but during the late 1890s, Blake’s authors consciously modeled him on Sherlock Holmes. Sexton Blake adventures were featured in a wide variety of British and international publications (in many languages) from 1893 to 1978, comprising more than 4,000 stories by some 200 different authors. Blake was also the hero of numerous silent and sound movies, radio serials, and a 1960s ITV television series. This volume contains 23 tales, originally published in 1908 and 1909. Included are:: A CONFIDENTIAL REPORT MY LORD THE BABY THE SILVER CANDLESTICK THE TATTOOED EYE MRS. LAMBERT’S LODGER A SLIP OF THE PEN AN ARTIFICIAL CLUE A MODERN ALCHEMIST THE ANCIENT MONK THE BLACK CAT AN OLD MAN’S DARLING THE BLUE LINE THE AMATEUR BURGLAR PY PONK THE YOUNG EARL NO ROBBERY A HOLIDAY TASK FOR SAFE DEPOSIT THE BARTON TUNNEL MYSTERY THE ADVENTURE OF THE COFFEE-POT THE BLACK PEARL OF BAHREIN THE BLACK DIAMOND THE MISSING WILL If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction -- and much, much more!

This book maps the development of the boy detective in British children’s literature from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth century. It explores how this liminal figure – a boy operating within a man’s world – addresses adult anxieties about boyhood and the boy’s transition to manhood. It investigates the literary, social and ideological significance of a vast array of popular detective narratives appearing in ‘penny dreadfuls’ and story papers which were aimed primarily at working-class boys. This study charts the relationship between developments in the representation of the fictional boy detective and changing expectations of and attitudes towards real-life British boys during a period where the boy’s role in the future of the Empire was a key concern. It emphasises the value of the early fictional boy detective as an ideological tool to condition boy readers to fulfil adult desires and expectations of what boyhood and, in the future, proper manhood should entail. It will be of particular importance to scholars working in the fields of children’s literature, crime fiction and popular culture.

E.S. Turner's first book, published in 1948, is a wholly original, richly researched and uncommonly insightful study of a somewhat disreputable genre: the 'Boys' Weekly' papers commonly known as 'penny dreadfuls.' 'A classic of its kind... [Turner] ploughed through back numbers of the old blood-and-thunder adventure magazines specialising in cliffhanger serials; the young hero would be left hanging over a cliff in a totally impossible situation, which would be easily resolved in the next issue: 'With one bound Jack was free.' Social history had never been as much fun or, with three extra printings in its first week - such was the demand - as profitable.' Jonathan Sale, Guardian 'Some people felt that E.S. Turner may have invented a new kind of book - the popular social history, very British, very funny, but written with a glistening elegance.' Andrew O'Hagan, London Review of Books

"Mr. Blake, no doubt you are wondering why I have sent for you. I admit that it is rather an unusual course for a man of my position to adopt, but there are strong reasons for it." With those words, Sir Vrymer Fane, head of the British Secret Service, invited Sexton Blake into the world of international political intrigue. In the many cases that followed, the great detective would find himself allied with two of the most popular characters in the Blake canon: James "Granite" Grant, The King's Spy, and Mademoiselle Julie of the French Secret Service. Grant was renowned for his fearlessness and dogged determination, and reputed "the brains of the British Secret Service." Mademoiselle Julie was a multi-skilled, highly intelligent agent whose uncommon beauty "could cast its spell over the strongest of men." Together, the two would feature in some of the most popular tales of the Roaring Twenties. Sexton Blake: Spy Stories collects their first three adventures: The Case of the King's Spy, The Case of the Strange Wireless Message and The Mystery of the Turkish Agreement. Author Spotlight: Walter William Sayer was a popular writer of the twenties and thirties, who wrote under the name "Pierre Quiroule." He was considered by many to be one of the most brilliant of all pre-war authors of Sexton Blake stories. This is the first title in a series of anthologies that collects tales from Sexton Blake's Golden Age. We'll draw from a wide list of authors: John W. Bobin, Andrew Murray, William Murray Graydon, G. H. Teed, William J. Bayfield, and many others. Enjoy! Reviews The Case of the King's Spy ★★★★★ Mark Hodder, Sexton Blake Bibliography, Blakiana.
