About this book
The Adventures of Heine is a set of linked comic spy stories by Edgar Wallace, published in 1919 and drawn from the years of the First World War. Its narrator is Heine, a boastful and thoroughly incompetent German secret agent whose schemes against Britain collapse one after another, usually through his own vanity and blunders. Written for wartime and post-war readers, the tales use humour rather than menace, turning the enemy spy into a figure of farce. They show a lighter and more playful side of a writer far better known for his breakneck thrillers.
