About the Author Edgar Mittelholzer was born in British Guiana in 1909.
It shows a writer still deeply concerned with the Caribbean, a writer of playful humour who is committed to entertain, not to preach as his later work tends to do, and a writer who wrote in a variety of genres (speculative fiction, crime, and the Gothic) that contemporary Caribbean writers are rediscovering.
This is mostly work written before Mittelholzer came to England in search of publishing opportunities.
