LEQUEUX, WILLIAM THE CZAR'S SPY.

Former owner's name and cloth lightly worn at spine ends, else very good copy. Illustrated by T.H. Robinson. Le Queux set the pattern for the spy genre as out of his hundred-plus books, about half are about spies. Much of his material for his novels was gathered while he was foreign editor for the Globe newspaper [1891-93]. Some of his books were banned in Russia because he dramatized the revolutionary movement in Czarist Russia. The Czar's Spy is this sort of novel. His early novels warned of England's unpreparedness to face a European invasion, and it seems he was a member of the British Secret Service both before and after World War I.
