Beschreibung

P. C. Wren was an English author of adventure fiction, who is best remembered today for his enduring 1924 classic ‘Beau Geste’. It concerns the adventures of three brothers that enlist in the French Foreign Legion, based partly on the author’s own military experiences. Inspired by the works of Marryat, Ballantyne, Henty and Haggard, Wren’s novels demonstrate an inventive, humorous and thrilling taste for adventure, which has captivated readers for over a century.
