This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1922 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. The Flying Fifty-Five is a novel set in the horse racing... This description may be from another edition of this product.
An excellent, easy, read. For those like me who have not read Edgar Wallace before, the man was apparently a horse racing journalist and this book is as informed and insightful as you would expect from an authority in this most statistical and information driven of sports. With plenty of storyline. Its not 'literature' but its a rollicking good read with heroes and villains and romance and the english countryside at its best.
