The Bulldog Drummond Encyclopedia

Between the two world wars, a demobilized British ex-officer became the most beloved fictional character since Sherlock Holmes. Captain Hugh Drummond-better known as "Bulldog"-was the hero of seventeen novels and more than twenty films, stage plays, and BBC radio programs. The series was popular enough, in fact, to outlive the original author, Herman Cyril McNeile ("Sapper"), and to withstand the interruption occasioned by the Second World War before finally disappearing from the public eye in the 1950s, with the introduction of the James Bond character. The books are now out of print and only a few videos of the films can be found. This volume contains complete descriptions and detailed information on the characters and the world of Bulldog Drummond, a world rife with Bolsheviks, terrorists, spies, saboteurs, Packards, English Channel packets, Rolls-Royces, castles, mastiffs, and tarantulas. Information is replete on Sapper, Gerard Fairlie (the second author), and the several actors who starred as the legendary hero.
