Featured Text PREVIOUS
Leslie Gordon Barnard (1890-1961) featured here is notably one of Canada’s most prolific short story writers. During the period of 1920 to 1960, he wrote over 500 short stories which appeared in magazines in Canada, England, and the U.S. including MacLean’s, Canadian Home Journal, Argosy, and Weird Tales. Barnard specialized in popular fiction and is credited with capturing the mood of an era and generation. Until recently, his stories were more popular with his readers than with his literary critics. He also wrote three novels, scripts for television episodes, and one-act plays.
One of his most popular short story series centers on detective Mr. Philibus. These stories appeared in Detective Fiction Weekly and Detective Story Magazine from 1928 to 1935.
Here at Faded Page, we have Mr. Philibus—Thousand-Dollar Man and One Generation Away, a short story collection, along with many more Barnard short stories.
