This carefully crafted ebook: 'Collected Works of P. C. WREN: 4 Novels & Stories from the Foreign Legion' is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.
Percival Christopher Wren (1875-1941) was an English writer, mostly of adventure fiction. His novels and short stories mostly deal with colonial soldiering in Africa. While his fictional accounts of life in the pre-1914 Foreign Legion are highly romanticized, his details of Legion uniforms, training, equipment and barrack room layout are generally accurate, which has led to suggestions that Wren himself served with the legion.
