I just typed all of this, I do hope you appreciate it! Further Information Fergus Hume was born 1859 and died in 1932, and it is patently obvious, not only by this bibliography but also my case of Repetitive Strain Injury, that he was one of the most prolific mystery authors ever. He is of course best known for the Hansom Cab, a cornerstone title for any serious collector. Unfortunately the rest of his work was clearly affected by the voluminous output. Any collector wishing to put together a full set of Fergus Hume first editions must surely be embarking on a lifetimes work. Many of the books saw no American release, some that did had alternative titles, which we have noted. There is more information about this author elsewhere on the site, I am now going to lie down in a dark room!.
