In the swirling mists of post-World War I England, a character emerged from the pen of "Sapper", (H.C.McNeile) whose adventures would captivate readers and endure through the ages. Bulldog Drummond, the invincible hero, burst onto the literary scene with a resounding force that echoed the sentiments of a society grappling with the aftermath of conflict and the winds of change.

Readers found themselves immersed in a world where espionage and intrigue stretched across a Europe still reeling from the Great War and "Bulldog Drummond" embodied the resilience and resourcefulness of a generation seeking purpose in the midst of societal upheaval.

It's clear that the adventures of Drummond, the intrepid ex-soldier looking for excitement, influenced Ian Flemming's James Bond of some 30 years later.

Welcome to a world where the villains are easy to spot, grey areas are few, women are to be rescued and the hero never loses his sense of humour!

Head Stories Audio presents the first instalment of its "Bulldog Drummond" series, wonderfully performed by Simon Hester. With original music.
