This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1926
and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory
biography. 'Penelope of the Polyantha' is a crime novel by this
pioneer of detective fiction. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was
born in London, England in 1875. He received his early education at
St. Peter's School and the Board School, but after a frenetic teens
involving a rash engagement and frequently changing employment
circumstances, Wallace went into the military. He served in the
Royal West Kent Regiment in England and then as part of the Medical
Staff Corps stationed in South Africa. Whilst in the Balkans
covering the Russo-Japanese War, Wallace found the inspiration for
The Four Just Men, published in 1905. Over the rest of his life,
Wallace produced some 173 books and wrote 17 plays. These were
largely adventure narratives with elements of crime or mystery, and
usually combined a bombastic sensationalism with hammy violence.
