More Educated Evans by Edgar Wallace First Edition Websters September 1926. No inscriptions, covers fine in original pictorial dust jacket. A VG+ copy.

Edgar Wallace's More Educated Evans (1926) is a rollicking British comedy, the second in his popular "Educated Evans" series. The titular tipster, a Cockney horse-racing "expert" with a knack for dodgy schemes, navigates London's seedy betting circles and high society with brash charm. When Evans touts a "sure thing" at Epsom, his boasts entangle him with shifty bookies, a cunning femme fatale, and a bumbling aristocrat, sparking a cascade of cons, mix-ups, and narrow escapes. Wallace's brisk prose and sly humor deliver 250 pages of riotous misadventure, poking fun at greed and gullibility.

This novel entices collectors of early 20th-century popular fiction. As a vibrant slice of Wallace's prolific output—echoing Wodehouse's wit or Runyon's rogues—it captivates readers craving fast-paced, humorous capers rooted in interwar London's underbelly. Its rarity in fine condition, paired with enduring appeal for fans of classic comedic crime, makes More Educated Evans a prized gem for both archival enthusiasts and those seeking a lively, era-steeped romp.
