Edgar Wallace 
Smithy [EPUB ebook] 

Between 1904 and 1918, Wallace collected tales about life in the British Army and the escapades and adventures of the troops. These led him to create the eponymous character, ‘Smithy.’ The first in the ‘Smithy’ series, this book is a collection of 23 short stories and vignettes featuring the eponymous soldier and his two mates, Nobby Clark and Spud Murphy. Easy to dip in and out of and with Wallace’s crackling use of dialogue, ‘Smithy’ is a perfect gift for any fans of one of the most prolific authors of the 20th century.Initially published in the Daily Mail, the ‘Smithy’ series features a bunch of short stories about the everyday life of the soldiers in the British military.
