Short Fiction Various: Past Masters 191, v1, 16 Dec 2024

I had no idea that Daniel DeFoe wrote any short fiction; but he did and here's a bit of it. Mostly better known names, but J M Walsh is now little known; he was an Australian writer of adventure stories who soon went off to London for the bigger and better opportunities on offer, and became a prolific adventure novelist under such pen-names as Stephen Maddock, and Haverstock Hill, and his own name; over 60 novels! Of course names like Peter Cheyney, Sinclair Lewis etc need no introduction. All stories in the Life + 70 years public domain.
