Edwy Searles Brooks

I have quite a few story papers and libraries written by Edwy Searles Brooks, author of many, if not all, of the Falcon Swift stories in Boys’ Magazine. Brooks had a unique writing method for churning out fiction, which is given in the following first-hand account by H. W. Twyman, Amalgamated editor of the Union Jack and the Detective Weekly from 1921 to 1937. From “Men at Work,” in The Collector’s Digest Annual, Christmas, 1957, 11^th year.
