About This Item
Early 20th century Earl Derr Biggers. b.1884, Warren, Ohio - d. 1933 in Pasadena, California. At Harvard he worked at that college's student-run "Lampoon", he worked as a journalist initially, then found success writing for the movie industry. His first novel, Seven Keys to Baldpate, was popular in 1913, and George M. Cohan quickly adapted the novel as a hit Broadway stage play of the same name, and it became a movie in 1917. This collection includes short stories. His series of detective novels featured the fictional Charlie Chan, inspired by the true Chang Apana. Lower spine damage compromises this book moderately, but is holding together; very readable. Dull water damge evident across lower page block.
