Edgar Wallace's classic vigilante detective series, The Four Just Men - four wealthy and resourceful individuals determined to take the law into their own hands - has maintained its popularity for over a century. It began with The Four Just Men in 1905, and was followed by five other books recounting further adventures, the Walter Ford film (1939), and a TV series (1959-60). In this, the opening volume, the mysterious Four Just Men punish by death those who are beyond the reach of the law. When Foreign Secretary Sir Philip Ramon's proposed Aliens Extradition Bill threatens the safety of a Spanish resistance leader, the men warn Sir Philip that he must either withdraw the legislation, or face death. This is a gripping novel in which the police struggle to protect Ramon and capture the men against the fast approaching deadline.

Favorite of Young and Old! For sixty years acclaimed by Catholic youth across America as the story they read and re-read and lived so vividly it remains with them always. Here is the high tension story of God's "outlaws" fighting for their Catholic Faith in seventeenth-century Scotland, living that Faith to the hilt of their claymores. It includes Christian heroes with indomitable hearts, parallels of Tarsicius, Sebastian, and Campion, and a boy hero not unlike the early Christians in the Coliseum. Illustrated, beautifully printed, sturdily bound.

The book is designed to provide an opportunity for young readers to show, through their own personal illustrations, how well they comprehend what is being read in delightful stories featuring other young children and animals. Each story is divided into several small segments, which appear in bold script, across the bottom of the page. The top portion of the page is left blank, enabling the reader to draw and color his or her favorite part of what has just been read. From an educational standpoint, the book lends itself to being a supplementary comprehension text. The children's illustrations speak for themselves as to what has been gleaned from the script. This format also allows an opportunity for children to express their comprehension of the story orally as they verbally share their creations with both teachers and peers. Teachers and parents will be able to assess the children's understanding of what is being read as they enjoy the precious drawings of their little ones. The finished book then becomes a wonderful, personalized memento from this special time in the life of the young reader.
