Description
8vo, cloth on dj (price clipped) . On its first appearance in 1957, this book provoked a storm of interest, and perhaps unsurprisingly, 100 copies were bought by East German Intelligence. It answers questions such as How can you hide messages in a boiled egg? and Why should you always put pepper in your Vodka in Russia. This classic anthology, with a new introduction by the former head of MI5, Stella Rimington, includes stories by Buchan, Maugham, Baden-Powell, Le Queux, TE Lawrence, Wheatley, Petrov, Peter Fleming, Fenimore Cooper, Auden, Conrad, Schellenberg, Colette, Kipling, Bruce lockhart, Ambler, Blake, Coleridge, Gauguin, Hardy, O. Henry & others. Introduction by Stella Rimington, illustrated by Nick Hardcastle.
