Writ in Barracks A Collection of Poems
By Edgar Wallace
Length1h 4m
About this audiobook
Edgar Wallace's first published books were not thrillers or the Sanders of the river books, but collections of poetry. Wallace was very much a soldier poet. Wallace began publishing songs and poetry, much inspired by Rudyard Kipling, whom he met in Cape Town in 1898. Wallace's first book of ballads, The Mission that Failed!, was published that same year. In 1899, he bought his way out of the forces and turned to writing full-time. Remaining in Africa, he became a war correspondent, first for Reuters and then the Daily Mail (1900) and other periodicals during the Boer War.
