The first four volumes of the Sexton Blake Library featuring the famous detective of popular fiction.
The stories include: 'The Yelow Tiger', 'Ill-Gotten Gains','The Shadow Of His Crime','The Rajah's Revenge',and 'The League Of Crime' (strip format).
Sexton Blake was created by writer Harry Blyth under the pen-name of Hal Meredith and made his first appearance in 'The Halfpenny Marvel' way back in 1893.Since then,over 3,500 Blake adventures have been penned by nearly 200 different authors! Apart from many appearances in numerous magazines and regular appearances in 'Union Jack' and 'Detective Weekly,' Sexton Blake also had a monthly library devoted to his adventures,starting in 1915.
By the time it ended in 1970,an amazing 1,700 odd novels had been published chronicling his adventures.
For the enthusiast of vintage detective fiction and the lover of a 'ripping good yarn' we are pleased to present the first four novels from this amazing series,each one a collector's item in it's own right.
