THE SEXTON BLAKE CASEBOOK

A Collection of Adventures Featuring the Other World Famous Detective

Hard to Find Out of Print Book Compiled by Mike Higgs

The adventures of the famous fictional detective Sexton Blake have filled hundreds of books since he made his first appearance in 1893.

He has also had his exploits featured in dramatic perforamnces on the stage, in films, on radio and even on television. Not bad for a character who was once contemptuously nicknamed 'the officeboys Sherlock Holmes.' A sirvey carried out in 1926 proved that Blake was read by readers of all ages and after Blake's regular magazine, 'Detective Weekly' ceased publication in 1940, the stories continued in the Sexton Blake Library which definitely had an adult readership. The Sexton Blake Library series are now collector's items and older copies are becoming harder and harder to find.

The stories reproduced in this volume are taken mainly from Sexton Blake libraries originally published in Blake's golden age, the twenties. Blake had a great career spanning the years from 1893 to 1970 and as further reprints and collections bring him right into the eighties, a whole new generationo of fans are waiting to be thrilled. You can't keep a good detective down.
