A propos de cet article

First published in 1930, this is a ninth impression of 1946. Some edge wear and chipping to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners slightly rubbed and bruised, some very slight overall dust staining, not price clipped (5/-), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and almost square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 316pp. The first 'Sudden' book. James Green aka 'Sudden' is a fictional character created by an English author Oliver Strange in the early 1930s as the hero of a series set in the American Wild West. Oliver Strange died in 1952, and the series was revived by Frederick H. Christian in the 1960s. Christian classified the books as 'Piccadilly westerns', that is books written by English authors, simply drawing on the conventions the genre, with no first hand experience of America. The 'Sudden' books are among the earliest and best loved of the type. Sudden is portrayed as an intrepid and accurate gunfighter in search of two men who cheated his foster father. James Green earns the nickname 'Sudden' because of his lightning speed with a gun. Sudden is portrayed as a stereotypical gunfighter: an intelligent and resourceful drifting cowboy who is respectful of the law, unwilling to use a gun unless absolutely necessary, humanitarian, brave, strong, and fair. The first book was published in 1930 and was followed by 10 more until the 1940s and featured vivid descriptions of the western American landscape, rare in an author at that time. Although now classified as 'potboilers', the series became popular for its exciting narrations combining elements of mystery, suspense, and action, with engaging characters, in a Wild West setting of dusty towns, ranches, and saloons. A scarce book.…
