Books with title Brigadier Gerard

Adored by women and feared by men, a master of disguise and derring do--Etienne Gerard is the most reckless, romantic officer in Napoleon's Grand Army. For years this swashbuckling adventurer has been unknown to millions. Now Brigadier Gerard, triumphant horseman and Hussar, pride of the creator of Sherlock Holmes, rides forth once more, again onto the battlefields of love and war.

A series of comic short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. These comic shorts were written in 1884-1885 and are set during the Napolenonic wars, 1807-1814. They first appeared in issues of the famous Strand magazine. Our hero, Etienne Gerard, is a Hussar in the French army. His vanity is all encompassing; he is utterly convinced that he is the bravest soldier, most masterful swordsman and horseman throughout the whole of France, not to mention being a much in demand and gallant lover! Conan Doyle's humour is satirical, artful and instrinsic, and makes for an entertaining listen.
