Bücher von Andrew Maunder

There is discussion of her most famous series including the Famous Five, the Secret Seven, Malory Towers and Noddy, but attention is also given to lesser-known works including the family stories she published to acclaim in the 1940s and early 1950s, as well as her attempts to become a dramatist.

Through a survey of a diverse range of crimes, criminals, detectives, modes of detection and reportage, the essays in this volume chart the development of crime writing as a genre and the growing dialogue between fact and fiction through Victoria's reign.
