'The Black Avons III — From Waterloo to the Mutiny' is a thriller novel written by Edgar Wallace. The story revolves around the three families of Avons: the Old Avons, living in Norfolk at that very manor which has been described by Henry Avon to be built during the reign of Elizabeth I; the Bedford Avons, the head of which was the grandson of that William who was the writer of the narrative of the Stuarts; and the third branch and the main focus of the story, which we call the Black branch, because it has produced so many swarthy members of our race; this had its home in Hampshire.
