William John Locke 
Delphi Collected Works of William John Locke Illustrated [EPUB ebook] 

The early twentieth century English novelist William John Locke has suffered neglect in recent rimes, though in his day he was a bestselling author on both sides of the Atlantic. He published a long series of novels noted for their charmingly written romances, which went on to be adapted for the stage and silver screen. Locke’s books are noted for their enticing social dramas, well-drawn characters and polished prose. This e Book presents Locke’s collected (almost complete) works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
