The Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard - Paperback

by Taylor Anderson (Author), Taylor Anderson (Editor), Arthur Conan Doyle (Author)

This book contains the complete series of short stories of Brigadier Gerard, both The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard and The Adventures of Gerard. The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard is a collection of historical short stories about a fictional hero during the Napoleonic Wars. It was written in 1895 and follows a Hussar Officer in the French Army named, Etienne Gerard. He is noted as a stereotypical Frenchman from a Englishman's point of view. He is brash and full of vanity, though it is written from a perspective of the French to satirize the British attitude. The Adventures of Gerard is a collection of historical short stories about a fictional hero during the Napoleonic Wars written in 1902. It is the sequel to the Exploits of Brigadier Gerard and follows Gerard on even more adventures.
